At Blake Appraisal Co, we understand the unique needs of a consumer in need of appraisal services. Our customary business clients are used to the appraisal process and the usual documents we provide. As our valued client, you will receive extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to more clearly understand what we do and how we report our findings. For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) / Pre-Listing ServicesIt's very hard to be objective about your home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Blake Appraisal Co are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It's something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value assessment than yours. Need to cancel PMI?A preferred way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are veterans in helping people just like you dismiss unnecessary PMI insurance. Challenge a property tax assessmentIf you live in a region that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other houses close by, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That means you are going to pay 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. Getting an expert appraisal from Blake Appraisal Co is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment. Recently got a freeze your HELOC?If your house is in or near a declining area, your lender may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be damaging 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. Blake Appraisal Co can help you reinstate your HELOC. We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review ServicesHave you just been handed a copy of your appraisal and you'd prefer to have a veteran appraiser double-check it for precision or do you desire a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Blake Appraisal Co offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables. Or, if you're in a rush, we can 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 you with a a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have had done before. While usually requested by banks, you may desire to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home. |
