We at American Appraisals, LLC. understand the unique needs of a customer looking for appraisal services.

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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at American Appraisals, LLC. will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. 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's something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Challenge property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that's declining. 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 sooner you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. Getting an appraisal from American Appraisals, LLC. is your number one weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. American Appraisals, LLC. is experienced in helping homeowners just like you do away with undesirable PMI insurance.

Recently got a freeze to your HELOC?

Your lender may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be difficult from a cash flow angle, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. American Appraisals, LLC. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for accuracy, or do you need a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? American Appraisals, LLC. offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comps in question. Or, if you need it immediately, we can provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can, using online data sources as well as our own files.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have in your possession. While usually requested by banks, you may need to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
