At ASAP Appraisal, LLC, we understand the particular needs of a homeowner in need of appraisal services. Our usual business clients understand the appraisal process and the standard reporting formats. But as a consumer, you'll receive extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to understand what we do and how we present our findings.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale by Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at ASAP Appraisal, LLC are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's market value, not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that's going down. That means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An expert appraisal from ASAP Appraisal, LLC is your best weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to cut costs 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 below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We're seasoned in helping people just like you rid yourselves of unwanted PMI insurance.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is close to a declining area, your lender just may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be difficult from a cash flow angle, but it can be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An efficient appraisal from ASAP Appraisal, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you need a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. If you need it ASAP, we'll provide you with a 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? ASAP Appraisal, LLC can help you with that. While typically requested by banks, you may desire to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
