For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at AR Appraisal Services , Inc. are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value estimation than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

An attractive way to cut costs for homeowners is getting 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 is below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're seasoned in helping folks just like you dismiss unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that is going down. That only means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. A professional appraisal from AR Appraisal Services , Inc. is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is close to a declining area, your lender might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be difficult from a cash flow point of view, but it can be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. AR Appraisal Services , Inc. can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.

We Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for efficiency, or do you want a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal?

Or, if you need it immediately, 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.
