At Seaview Real Estate, we understand the special needs of a homeowner seeking appraisal services. While our usual business clients understand the appraisal process and standard reporting formats, you as a consumer will get extra service in the form of an explanation of the process and even special consumer-friendly reporting forms if the assignment allows for them. For Sale by Owner (FSBO)/Pre-Listing ServicesIt's very hard to be objective about your home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Seaview Real Estate will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, and not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value conclusion than yours.Challenge Orange County's assessment of your propertyYour local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that is declining. This means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. 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. Getting an expert appraisal from Seaview Real Estate is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.Need to cancel PMI?A fashionable way to cut expenses 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 is less than 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. Seaview Real Estate is experienced in helping people just like you dismiss unwanted PMI insurance.Was your HELOC recently frozen?If your property is in a declining area, your lender just might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow standpoint, and bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Seaview Real Estate can provide you with an expert appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?Do you need a professional to double-check your appraisal for accuracy, or do you want a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. If you need it immediately, we'll provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can, using online data sources as well as our own files.We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had done before. While typically requested by banks, you may need to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property. |
