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

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at ADP Valuations are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract interested buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a preferred money saver for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. At ADP Valuations, we're experts in helping clients just like you delete undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Lets say you live in an area that is going down -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of a matter like this, the better. An appraisal from ADP Valuations is your number one weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your house 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 destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also troublesome from a cash flow viewpoint. A professional appraisal from ADP Valuations can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you'd like to have an expert double-check it for accuracy or do you need a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. Or, if you need it in a rush, we can 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 a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had done before. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may desire to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
