We at Accu-Rate Appraisal Services understand the particular needs of a homeowner in need of appraisal services.

For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Accu-Rate Appraisal Services will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers. It's something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

A preferred way to cut expenses for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. At Accu-Rate Appraisal Services, we're experienced in helping consumers just like you get rid of unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other homes nearby. That only means you are probably paying more taxes than you should. The faster you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal report from Accu-Rate Appraisal Services is your number one weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in or near a declining area. This can be be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inconvenient from a cash flow standpoint. An efficient appraisal from Accu-Rate Appraisal Services can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you wish a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for verity? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comps. If you need it immediately, we'll provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had in the past. While typically requested by banks, you may desire to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
