At First Choice Appraisals, we understand the special needs of a consumer after appraisal services.

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 First Choice Appraisals are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a fashionable money saver for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down 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 removed from your loan. We are seasoned in helping clients just like you rid yourselves of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that is going down or not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours. That only means you are paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. An appraisal report from First Choice Appraisals is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is in a declining area, your lender might 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 disadvantageous 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. First Choice Appraisals can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just gotten a copy of your appraisal and you would like to have a seasoned professional double-check it for verity or do you need a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? First Choice Appraisals offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comparables. 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.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have in your possession. While typically requested by banks, you may need to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
