For Sale by Owner (FSBO)/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 North Carolina Real Estate Appraiser Association 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 house will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It's something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Challenge Wake County's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a region that is declining or is not appreciating as much as other homes close by. This means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. An appraisal from North Carolina Real Estate Appraiser Association is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

PMI Removal Appraisals

A popular way to cut expenses for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled 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 amount is below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We are veterans in helping people just like you abolish unwanted PMI insurance.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is in a declining area, your lender might 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 unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult from a cash flow angle. North Carolina Real Estate Appraiser Association can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for accuracy, or do you need a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comps. 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? We can assist you. While usually requested by banks, you may desire to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
