For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Quality Appraisal Service will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- not just how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

An attractive way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're experts in helping customers just like you dismiss unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging Riverside county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your home is not appreciating as much as other homes close by. That means you are most likely paying more taxes than you should. The quicker 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. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Quality Appraisal Service is your strongest weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is in a declining area, your lender may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be disadvantageous from a cash flow standpoint, and detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Quality Appraisal Service can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you would wish to have an expert double-check it for precision or do you need a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Quality Appraisal Service can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. Or, if you need it in a rush, we can provide 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? Quality Appraisal Service can help you with that. While typically requested by banks, you may wish to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
