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

It's very hard to be objective about your house because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Priority Appraisal, will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers. It's something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

A popular money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Priority Appraisal is veterans in helping folks just like you rid yourselves of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. The sooner 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. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Priority Appraisal is your #1 weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in or near a declining area. This can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow angle, and destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Priority Appraisal can provide you with an expert appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just accepted a copy of your appraisal and you would like to have a veteran appraiser double-check it for precision or do you desire a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Priority Appraisal offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comparables in question. Or, if you need it immediately, we can 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 need to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
