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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at National Valuation Services will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just you saying how much your house is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Challenging a property tax assessment

If you live in an area that is going down or not appreciating as much as other houses close by, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. The sooner you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal from National Valuation Services is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your home, 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 experts in helping homeowners just like you get rid of unnecessary PMI insurance.

Recently got a freeze to your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in or near a declining area. This can be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow point of view, and unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. National Valuation Services can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for preciseness, or do you want a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from National Valuation Services can go out and check the subject and comps in a field review. Or, if you're in a hurry, 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 had in the past. While typically requested by banks, you may need to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
