For-Sale-by-Owner (FSBO) / Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Plus One Appraisals are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers. It's something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's market value, not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your house not appreciating as much as other properties close by. This means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. An appraisal report from Plus One Appraisals is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a popular way to cut costs for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. Plus One Appraisals is seasoned in helping people just like you do away with unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is near a declining area, your lender may just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow angle. An appraisal from Plus One Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need an expert to double-check your appraisal for preciseness, or do you want a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. If you're in a rush, we'll provide you with a desk review and verify as many facts as we can, using online data sources as well as our own files.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? Plus One Appraisals can help you with that. While usually requested by banks, you may desire to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
