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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at REW Appraisals LLC are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

A fashionable way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated 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 your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We are qualified in helping homeowners just like you delete unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that's going down or not appreciating as much as other properties close by. This only means you are going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner 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 challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from REW Appraisals LLC is your best weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is in or near a declining area, your lender might just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be inopportune from a cash flow angle, and unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. REW Appraisals LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you prefer a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you need a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for precision? REW Appraisals LLC offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comps. If you're in a hurry, 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.

We can also provide you with a a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have in your possession. While usually requested by banks, you may want to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
