We at Global Appraisal Shop, Inc. understand the individual needs of a consumer seeking appraisal services.

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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about 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 a very important negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, and not just you saying how much your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to cut expenses for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are qualified in helping people just like you do away with unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that's declining. This only means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The faster you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an expert appraisal from Global Appraisal Shop, Inc. is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be difficult from a cash flow angle, and damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An expert appraisal from Global Appraisal Shop, Inc. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you like a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a professional to double-check your appraisal for verity? We can go out and check the subject and comparables in question 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.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal? Global Appraisal Shop, Inc. can help with that too. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may wish to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
