Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner (FSBO)

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Crow Appraisals, LLC will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It's something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. Crow Appraisals, LLC is experienced in helping people just like you rid yourselves of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a region that is declining or not appreciating as much as other homes close by. That means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. 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 expert appraisal from Crow Appraisals, LLC is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is in or 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. Not only can this be troublesome from a cash flow point of view, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Crow Appraisals, LLC can provide you with a professional appraisal that will help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you like a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you need a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for precision? Crow Appraisals, LLC offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables. If you need it ASAP, we'll provide 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? Crow Appraisals, LLC can help with that too. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may wish to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
