We at Ace Appraisal Services understand the special needs of a homeowner in need of appraisal services. Our usual business clients get the appraisal process and the usual documents we provide. But as a general consumer,we will give you extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to more fully understand what we do and how we report our conclusions.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Ace Appraisal Services 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 price to sell at so your home will attract interested buyers. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

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. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We're experienced in helping homeowners just like you get rid of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say you live in a region that's going down -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you are going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal report from Ace Appraisal Services is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be annoying from a cash flow viewpoint, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Ace Appraisal Services can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you wish a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you need an expert to double-check your appraisal for preciseness? Ace Appraisal Services offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comps. Or, if you need it ASAP, we can 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? Ace Appraisal Services can help with that too. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may need to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
