At Woodlee Appraisal Service, we understand the special needs of a customer after appraisal services. Our business practices and reporting formats are familiar to our business clients like lenders, attorneys, and CPAs. But as a general consumer,we will give you extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to more clearly understand what we do and how we report our findings.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Woodlee Appraisal Service are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It's something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, not just how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a popular way to cut costs for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We are veterans in helping people just like you get rid of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a local area that is going down or not appreciating as much as other homes nearby. This only means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal report from Woodlee Appraisal Service is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your house is in a declining area, your lender may just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be disadvantageous from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An efficient appraisal from Woodlee Appraisal Service can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you desire a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. If you're 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 a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have in your possession. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may desire to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
