Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Eagle Appraisals, will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to cut expenses for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are seasoned in helping homeowners just like you remove unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging Norfolk county's assessment of your property

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

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might 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 this be inconvenient from a cash flow standpoint, and harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An efficient appraisal from Eagle Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you like a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for precision? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comparables. If you need it in a rush, 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 report? Eagle Appraisals can help you with that. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may need to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
