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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Crane Property Services are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It's something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, and not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

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 below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We are qualified in helping folks just like you dismiss unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other properties nearby. This means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of things like this, the better. Getting a professional appraisal from Crane Property Services is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your property is in a declining area, your lender 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 damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult from a cash flow viewpoint. Crane Property Services can provide you with a professional appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a professional to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you want a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Crane Property Services 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 you with a desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal? We can help you with that While typically requested by banks, you may want to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
