Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at SWFL Residential Appraisal Services, LLC., are objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract buyers. It's something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value report than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to cut expenses for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We are veterans in helping consumers just like you dismiss unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours. That only means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. The earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An expert appraisal from SWFL Residential Appraisal Services, LLC. is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult from a cash flow viewpoint. An appraisal from SWFL Residential Appraisal Services, LLC. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just been handed a copy of your appraisal and you would wish to have a seasoned professional double-check it for precision or do you desire a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from SWFL Residential Appraisal Services, LLC. can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. Or, if you're in a rush, we can provide you with a 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 done before. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may desire to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
