At Anchor Appraisals, we understand the individual needs of a consumer after appraisal services.

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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Anchor Appraisals 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 very valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers. 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 you think your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. Anchor Appraisals is experienced in helping clients just like you dismiss unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that's declining. That only means you are paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from Anchor Appraisals is your best weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be annoying from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Anchor Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you like a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you need a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for efficiency? Anchor Appraisals offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comps. If you're in a hurry, we'll provide you with a 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. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may need to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
