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. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Appraise SW Florida, LLC, will be objective. We will 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 price to sell at so your home will attract interested buyers. It's something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and 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 more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. Appraise SW Florida, LLC is qualified in helping people just like you do away with unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say you live in a region that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you're most likely 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. Getting a professional appraisal from Appraise SW Florida, LLC is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is in a declining area, your lender may just 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 unsuitable from a cash flow point of view, but it can be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Appraise SW Florida, LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been handed a copy of your appraisal and you would like to have a veteran appraiser double-check it for verity or do you desire a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comparables in question. Or, if you need it ASAP, 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.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal? We can help you with that Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may want to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
