Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

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 Pierce Appraisal, Inc., are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, not just you saying how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to save money for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We are qualified in helping folks just like you do away with unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in an area that is going down. This only means you're most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Pierce Appraisal, Inc. is your number one weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be annoying from a cash flow angle, and detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Pierce Appraisal, Inc. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been handed a copy of your appraisal and you would like 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? Pierce Appraisal, Inc. offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables in question. If you need it immediately, we'll provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal? We can help with that too. While typically requested by banks, you may desire to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
