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

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Jeremiah Real Estate Appraisals are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It's something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value -- not just you saying how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value report than yours.

Challenge New Kent County's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in an area that is going down or not appreciating as much as other homes nearby. That means you are paying more taxes than you should. The earlier 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 expert appraisal from Jeremiah Real Estate Appraisals is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to cut expenses for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are qualified in helping customers just like you do away with unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also unsuitable from a cash flow angle. Jeremiah Real Estate Appraisals can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just accepted a copy of your appraisal and you would prefer to have a seasoned expert double-check it for preciseness or do you need a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Jeremiah Real Estate Appraisals can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. Or, if you're in a hurry, we can provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can, using online data sources as well as our own files.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? Jeremiah Real Estate Appraisals can help you with that. Even though most appraisal reviews are commissioned by lenders, homeowners suspecting they've been the victim of mortgage fraud are wise to get a second opinion.
