Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at AA Appraisals (530) 824-1955, are objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners is getting 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 down below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. AA Appraisals (530) 824-1955 is qualified in helping people just like you delete unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a region that is declining or is not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours. That only means you're 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 a matter like this, the better. Getting a professional appraisal from AA Appraisals (530) 824-1955 is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in or near a declining area. This can be be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow point of view. AA Appraisals (530) 824-1955 can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for accuracy, or do you need a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from AA Appraisals (530) 824-1955 can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. If you need it immediately, 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.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal? We can help with that too. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may want to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
