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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Carolina Real Estate Appraisals LLC will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, and not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to save money for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're qualified in helping consumers just like you remove unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Lets say you live in a region that is going down -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from Carolina Real Estate Appraisals LLC is your strongest weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is in a declining area, your lender may decide 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 unsuitable from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Carolina Real Estate Appraisals LLC can provide you with efficient appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for efficiency, or do you want a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Carolina Real Estate Appraisals LLC offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables. If you're in a hurry, we'll 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 you with a a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had in the past. While typically requested by banks, you may desire to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
