At HomeLink Appraisal Solutions, we understand the unique needs of a homeowner seeking appraisal services.

For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at HomeLink Appraisal Solutions will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers. It's something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At HomeLink Appraisal Solutions, we're veterans in helping folks just like you remove unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your home not appreciating as much as other homes nearby. This only means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. Getting a professional appraisal from HomeLink Appraisal Solutions is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just might choose 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. This can be be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also unsuitable from a cash flow standpoint. HomeLink Appraisal Solutions can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need an expert to double-check your appraisal for efficiency, or do you want a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comps. Or, if you're in a rush, 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? HomeLink Appraisal Solutions can help with that too. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may want to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
