For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at FARWIG APPRAISAL SERVICES 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 buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It gives you something tangible to show the 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. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to cut costs 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 property. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We're seasoned in helping clients just like you remove unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other properties close by -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you're going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. An appraisal from FARWIG APPRAISAL SERVICES is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

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

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you'd prefer to have a seasoned expert double-check it for preciseness or do you need a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? FARWIG APPRAISAL SERVICES offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comparables in question. 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 a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had done before. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may desire to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
