We at Real Time Appraisals understand the unique needs of a homeowner looking for appraisal services. Our business practices and reporting formats are relatively routine to our business clients like lenders, lawyers, and CPAs. Being a regular person not in the real estate field that most likely doesn't look at appraisals every day,you can expect extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to more clearly understand what we do and how we document our conclusions.

For Sale By Owner (FSBO)/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Real Time Appraisals will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract interested buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value opinion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to save money for homeowners. 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 removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Real Time Appraisals is seasoned in helping consumers just like you rid yourselves of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in an area that's going down or is not appreciating as much as other properties nearby. That only means you are probably paying more taxes than you should. The sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal report from Real Time Appraisals is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is close to a declining area. This can be be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also disadvantageous from a cash flow standpoint. Real Time Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just gotten a copy of your appraisal and you'd wish to have an expert double-check it for precision or do you want a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Real Time Appraisals offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comps. Or, if you're in a rush, we can provide you with a 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 had done before. While typically requested by banks, you may need to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
