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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at All Sierra Appraisal Group LLC, will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, and not just you saying how much your house is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value estimation than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a popular way to cut expenses for homeowners. 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, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're experienced in helping clients just like you do away with unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your house not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours. This means you're most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from All Sierra Appraisal Group LLC is your perfect weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in a declining area. Not only can this be difficult from a cash flow point of view, but it can be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. All Sierra Appraisal Group LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you'd wish to have a seasoned 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? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comparables. If you need it ASAP, we'll 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 with that too. While typically requested by banks, you may need to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
