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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at R Fadden Appraisals are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is an attractive money saver for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan 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. At R Fadden Appraisals, we're qualified in helping clients just like you dismiss unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a region that's going down. This only means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from R Fadden Appraisals is your best 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 unsuitable from a cash flow viewpoint, and unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An efficient appraisal from R Fadden Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you prefer a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you need a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for precision? An appraiser from R Fadden Appraisals can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. Or, if you need it ASAP, 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 you with a a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have in your possession. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may desire to utilize this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
