For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Appraisals Direct LLC will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It's something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. At Appraisals Direct LLC, we're seasoned in helping clients just like you abolish unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging Madison county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a local area that is declining or is not appreciating as much as other properties close by. That means you're probably paying more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Appraisals Direct LLC is your #1 weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

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

We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a professional to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you need a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Appraisals Direct LLC can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. Or, if you need it ASAP, we can provide you with a 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 had done before. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may wish to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
