We at Reliant Appraisals understand the unique needs of a homeowner seeking appraisal services. Our customary business clients get the appraisal process and the customary "products" we deliver to them. But as a general consumer,we'll be sure you get extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to understand what we do and how we document our findings.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Reliant Appraisals, will be objective. We'll 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 property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It's something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

An attractive 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 down 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. We're qualified in helping folks just like you remove undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Lets say you live in a local area that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal report from Reliant Appraisals is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is close to a declining area, your lender might just 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 harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inopportune from a cash flow point of view. Reliant Appraisals can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.

We Also Offer 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 preciseness? Reliant Appraisals offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables in question. If you need it ASAP, we'll provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? Reliant Appraisals can help you with that. While typically requested by banks, you may wish to utilize this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
