For Sale By Owner (FSBO)/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Aanerud Appraisal Service are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract buyers. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive money saver for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Aanerud Appraisal Service is seasoned in helping folks just like you abolish unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Lets say you live in a region that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you're going to pay 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. An expert appraisal from Aanerud Appraisal Service is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

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 property is close to a declining area. This can this be annoying from a cash flow point of view, and bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Aanerud Appraisal Service can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you'd like to have a veteran appraiser double-check it for precision or do you need a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comps. If you need it in a rush, we'll 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 you may have had done before. While typically requested by banks, you may desire to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
