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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers. The appraisal is something tangible 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. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby. This only means you are going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an expert appraisal from The Warren Agency is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to cut costs for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. The Warren Agency is seasoned in helping people just like you abolish unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Recently got a freeze to your HELOC?

If your house is in a declining area, your lender may choose 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 inopportune from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An expert appraisal from The Warren Agency can help you reinstate your HELOC.

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 desire a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for accuracy? The Warren Agency offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables in question. If you're in a hurry, we'll provide you with a 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 report? We can assist you. Even though most review work is commissioned by lenders, homeowners suspecting a prior appraisal wasn't above board are wise to invest in a second opinion.
