Contact Premier Appraisal, Inc..

We at Premier Appraisal, Inc. understand the individual needs of a homeowner looking for appraisal services.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because of your emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Premier Appraisal, Inc. 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 very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract buyers. It gives you something concrete to show your 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. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value report than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a popular money saver for homeowners. 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 the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We're experts in helping people just like you rid yourselves of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Lets say you live in an area that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That means you're paying more taxes than you should. The faster 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. An appraisal report from Premier Appraisal, Inc. is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be difficult from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Premier Appraisal, Inc. can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a professional to double-check your appraisal for preciseness, or do you desire a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Premier Appraisal, Inc. 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.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal? We can help with that too. While usually requested by banks, you may wish to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
