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

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers. It's something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value -- not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value report than yours.

Challenging Shawano County's assessment of your property

If you live in a region that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you're probably paying more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. A professional appraisal from Appraisal South is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a popular way to cut expenses for homeowners. 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. We're qualified in helping clients just like you delete unnecessary PMI insurance.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be difficult from a cash flow viewpoint, and destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An expert appraisal from Appraisal South can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need 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 seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for accuracy? An appraiser from Appraisal South can go out and check the subject and comps 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.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? Appraisal South can help you with that. While typically requested by banks, you may wish to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
