For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, 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 very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

A popular 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 amount is down below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are qualified in helping people just like you get rid of unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other properties nearby -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This only means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal report from Red Bird Real Appraisals is your best weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in a declining area. Not only can this be inconvenient from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Red Bird Real Appraisals can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you'd like to have a seasoned appraiser double-check it for accuracy or do you need a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Red Bird Real Appraisals can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. If you're in a rush, we'll 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 report? Red Bird Real Appraisals can help you with that. While typically requested by banks, you may desire to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
