We at Eastern Appraisal understand the particular needs of a customer seeking appraisal services.

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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Eastern Appraisal are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price -- not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are experts in helping homeowners just like you rid themselves of unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Lets say you live in a local area that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you're 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. Getting an appraisal report from Eastern Appraisal is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is in or near a declining area, your lender might just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be troublesome from a cash flow viewpoint, and bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An appraisal from Eastern Appraisal can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for efficiency, or do you desire a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Eastern Appraisal offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comparables. Or, if you need it ASAP, 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.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? We can help with that too. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may want to utilize this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
