For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about 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 house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, and not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value judgement than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred money saver for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We are experts in helping people just like you get rid of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

If you live in a region that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other properties nearby, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. The sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal from Juan Rascon is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender may just decide 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. Not only can this be inconvenient from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Juan Rascon can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for efficiency, or do you need a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Juan Rascon offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comps in question. If you need it in a rush, 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 a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had done before. While typically requested by banks, you may want to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
