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. The professional appraisers at RJE Real Estate Appraisal Service 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 price to sell at so your property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

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. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We are qualified in helping people just like you get rid of unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge Washtenaw county's assessment of your property

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other homes nearby -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you are going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. The faster you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal report from RJE Real Estate Appraisal Service is your number one weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your property is close to a declining area, your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also unsuitable from a cash flow viewpoint. RJE Real Estate Appraisal Service can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just accepted a copy of your appraisal and you would prefer to have a seasoned professional double-check it for preciseness or do you desire a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? RJE Real Estate Appraisal Service offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables. If you need it 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. While typically requested by banks, you may wish to utilize this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
