We at My Appraisals AZ LLC understand the particular needs of a consumer looking for appraisal services. Our typical business clients are used to the appraisal process and the usual "products" we deliver to them. But as a consumer,we'll be sure you get extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to better understand what we do and how we document our findings.

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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an 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 valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract many interested buyers. It's something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. 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 the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We are veterans in helping clients just like you do away with unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging Pima county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your home not appreciating as much as other homes close by. That means you're probably paying more taxes than you should. The faster 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 My Appraisals AZ LLC is your #1 weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult from a cash flow viewpoint. My Appraisals AZ LLC 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 preciseness, or do you want a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from My Appraisals AZ LLC can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. If you need it ASAP, 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. While typically requested by banks, you may wish to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
