For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Appraisal Corporation of America, Inc. , are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

A preferred way to cut expenses for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your home, 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. We're experts in helping homeowners just like you rid themselves of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other homes close by -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you're paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The faster 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. An appraisal from Appraisal Corporation of America, Inc. is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to 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. Appraisal Corporation of America, Inc. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you prefer a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for preciseness? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comps. 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.

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 wish to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
