We at Abercrombie Appraisal Service, Inc. understand the special needs of a customer after appraisal services. The appraisal process and reporting formats are familiar to our business clients like banks, attorneys, and accountants.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Abercrombie Appraisal Service, Inc. 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 a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract interested buyers. It gives you something tangible 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 home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value estimation than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a preferred money saver for homeowners. 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 your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. Abercrombie Appraisal Service, Inc. is qualified in helping customers just like you do away with unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a local area that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours. This only means you're paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of things like this, the better. A professional appraisal from Abercrombie Appraisal Service, Inc. is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

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

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you like a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for efficiency? Abercrombie Appraisal Service, Inc. offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables. If you need it ASAP, 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? Abercrombie Appraisal Service, Inc. can help with that too. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may desire to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
