At Greater Orlando Appraisal Assoc., Inc., we understand the particular needs of a homeowner seeking appraisal services.

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. Our professional appraisers at Greater Orlando Appraisal Assoc., Inc. are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract many interested buyers. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to cut expenses for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. At Greater Orlando Appraisal Assoc., Inc., we're qualified in helping consumers just like you remove unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours. That only means you are paying more taxes than you should. The sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better, 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.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is near a declining area. This can this be disadvantageous from a cash flow angle, and unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Greater Orlando Appraisal Assoc., Inc. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just received a copy of your appraisal and you would prefer to have a seasoned professional double-check it for preciseness or do you desire a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Greater Orlando Appraisal Assoc., Inc. offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables in question. Or, if you need it ASAP, we can 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. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may wish to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
