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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Greater Orlando Appraisal Assoc., Inc., are objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated 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 house. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We are experts in helping clients just like you delete unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging Orange county's assessment of your property

Lets say you live in a local area that is going down -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you are 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 Greater Orlando Appraisal Assoc., Inc. is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is near a declining area. Not only can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An expert appraisal from Greater Orlando Appraisal Assoc., Inc. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been handed a copy of your appraisal and you'd like to have a professional double-check it for verity or do you desire a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Greater Orlando Appraisal Assoc., Inc. can go out and check the subject and comps in a field review. Or, if you need it in a rush, we can 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 you with that Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may wish to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
