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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at 1 Tree Realestate Appraisal Service are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Challenging Shelby County's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a region that is declining or not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours. This means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier 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 1 Tree Realestate Appraisal Service is your number one weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable money saver for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. 1 Tree Realestate Appraisal Service is qualified in helping folks just like you do away with unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in or near a declining area. This can be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also troublesome from a cash flow standpoint. 1 Tree Realestate Appraisal Service can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you prefer a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you need a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for verity? We can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. If you're in a rush, we'll 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? 1 Tree Realestate Appraisal Service can help you with that. Although most review work is commissioned by lenders for quality control, homeowners that have reason to believe they've been the victim of mortgage fraud are wise to get a second opinion.
