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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. 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 an attainable buyer. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A popular way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your property, 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. At CoreLogic, we're seasoned in helping homeowners just like you rid yourselves of unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

If you live in a local area that is declining or is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you are paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of things like this, the better. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from CoreLogic is your perfect weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is close to a declining area. This can this be annoying from a cash flow point of view, and detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. CoreLogic can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you wish a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you need a professional to double-check your appraisal for accuracy? We can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. If you're 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.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have had done before. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may need to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
