Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Plains Appraisal Service, LLC, will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract many interested buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Plains Appraisal Service, LLC, we're experienced in helping homeowners just like you rid yourselves of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your home not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours. This means you're most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of things like this, the better. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from Plains Appraisal Service, LLC is your best weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area. This can this be unsuitable from a cash flow standpoint, and damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Plains Appraisal Service, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for preciseness, or do you desire a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Plains Appraisal Service, LLC can go out and check the subject and comps in a field review. Or, if you need it in a rush, we can 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 report? Plains Appraisal Service, LLC can help you with that. While usually requested by banks, you may want to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
