For Sale by Owner/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 Paradise 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 important negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Let's say your house is not appreciating as much as other homes nearby -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. An appraisal report from Paradise Appraisals is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Appraisals to remove PMI

An attractive way to cut expenses for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Your monthly payments will go down 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 eliminated from your loan. Paradise Appraisals is seasoned in helping people just like you remove unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is near a declining area, your lender just might choose 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 annoying from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. A professional appraisal from Paradise Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just gotten a copy of your appraisal and you'd prefer to have a seasoned appraiser 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? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comparables. If you're in a rush, we'll 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 report? We can assist you. While usually requested by banks, you may desire to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
