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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Elite Appraisals (215) 431-6123 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 selling price so your property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It's something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Challenging Bucks County's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your home not appreciating as much as other properties close by. This means you're most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting a professional appraisal from Elite Appraisals (215) 431-6123 is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a popular money saver for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Elite Appraisals (215) 431-6123 is qualified in helping customers just like you get rid of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult from a cash flow point of view. Elite Appraisals (215) 431-6123 can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for accuracy, or do you want a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Elite Appraisals (215) 431-6123 offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables in question. If you're in a hurry, we'll provide 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 retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have in your possession. While usually requested by banks, you may want to utilize this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
