For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your home because of your emotional attachment to it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive way to cut expenses for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're veterans in helping customers just like you rid themselves of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging San Bernardino county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a local area that's going down or not appreciating as much as other homes close by. This means you are paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from Alliance Appraisal Service is your number one weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also troublesome from a cash flow point of view. Alliance Appraisal Service can provide you with efficient appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for accuracy, or do you want a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Alliance Appraisal Service offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comparables in question. If you need it immediately, 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 a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have in your possession. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may wish to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
