At Valuation Professionals PLC, we understand the special needs of a customer after appraisal services.

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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Valuation Professionals PLC are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, not just how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to cut costs 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 below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. Valuation Professionals PLC is experienced in helping folks just like you delete unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that's declining. This means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal report from Valuation Professionals PLC is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your property is in a declining area, your lender might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be inopportune from a cash flow angle, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. A professional appraisal from Valuation Professionals PLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you wish a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you need a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for accuracy? We can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. Or, if you're in a hurry, 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? Valuation Professionals PLC can help with that too. While usually requested by banks, you may need to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
