For Sale By Owner (FSBO)/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. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract many interested buyers. It's something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

A fashionable money saver for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We're experts in helping clients just like you abolish unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge Clark county's assessment of your property

Lets say you live in a region that is going down -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That means you are most likely paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. Getting an appraisal from AAAnderson Associates Inc. is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender just may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property 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 negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. AAAnderson Associates Inc. can provide you with efficient appraisal that will help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just been handed a copy of your appraisal and you would like to have a professional double-check it for verity or do you need a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal?

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? AAAnderson Associates Inc. can help with that too. While typically requested by banks, you may wish to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
