For Sale By Owner/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 Appraisal Source 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 crucial 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. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value -- not just you saying how much 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 an expert appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

A preferred money saver for homeowners is getting 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 below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. Appraisal Source LLC is experts in helping clients just like you remove unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Kalamazoo county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in an area that is declining. This means you're going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from Appraisal Source LLC is your #1 weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your house is in or near a declining area, your lender may just decide 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 standpoint, but it can be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Appraisal Source LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a professional to double-check your appraisal for accuracy, or do you desire a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Appraisal Source LLC can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. If you're in a rush, we'll 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? Appraisal Source LLC can help you with that. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may need to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
