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

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It's something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Challenging property tax assessments

If you live in a local area that is going down or not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal from Accredited Appraisal Services / Home Values Tulsa is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. 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 a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We're experienced in helping homeowners just like you remove unnecessary PMI insurance.

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. Not only can this be inconvenient from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Accredited Appraisal Services / Home Values Tulsa can provide you with a professional appraisal that will help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you wish a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for precision? Accredited Appraisal Services / Home Values Tulsa offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comps in question. 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? Accredited Appraisal Services / Home Values Tulsa can help you with that. Even though most review work is requested by lenders, homeowners suspecting they've been the victim of mortgage fraud are prudent to invest in a second opinion.
