For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Anchor Appraisals Inc, will be objective. We 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 property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled 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 property. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We're experienced in helping consumers just like you do away with unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your home is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby. That means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of things like this, the better. Getting an expert appraisal from Anchor Appraisals Inc is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your house is close to a declining area, your lender may just make the decision 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 standpoint, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Anchor Appraisals Inc can provide you with a professional appraisal that will help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just accepted a copy of your appraisal and you would like to have a veteran appraiser double-check it for verity or do you desire a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Anchor Appraisals Inc can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. Or, if you need it immediately, 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? Anchor Appraisals Inc can help you with that. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may need to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
