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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Quality Evaluations are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract many interested buyers. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A preferred way to cut expenses for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We're experienced in helping consumers just like you dismiss unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that is going down. That only means you're probably paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. An appraisal from Quality Evaluations is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in or near a declining area. This can this be troublesome from a cash flow point of view, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Quality Evaluations can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you need a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Quality Evaluations can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. If you're in a rush, 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.
