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

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at All About Appraisals, will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very valuable 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 buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value -- not just how much you think 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 professional appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a popular way to cut expenses for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down 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. We are seasoned in helping customers just like you rid themselves of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Blount county's assessment of your property

Lets say you live in a region that is declining -- 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 things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal from All About Appraisals is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area. This can this be inconvenient from a cash flow point of view, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. All About Appraisals can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just received a copy of your appraisal and you would like to have a seasoned professional double-check it for precision or do you need a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comps in a field review. Or, if you're in a rush, 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.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have in your possession. While usually requested by banks, you may need to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
