Attention homeowners in Kennewick and Benton County: Need an appraisal?The top 7 reasons why WA homeowners hire Priority First Appraisal LLC:
Do you own a house in or near Kennewick? Do you need help deciding the value of your real estate?
At Priority First Appraisal LLC, we understand the unique needs of a consumer in need of appraisal services. While our typical business clients understand the appraisal process and standard reporting formats, you as a consumer will get extra service in the form of an explanation of the process and even special consumer-friendly reporting forms if the assignment allows for them. For Sale By Owner (FSBO)/Pre-Listing ServicesSince you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Priority First Appraisal LLC, are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value -- not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value assessment than yours. Need to cancel PMI?Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are experts in helping homeowners just like you rid themselves of undesirable PMI insurance. Challenge property tax assessmentsLets say you live in a local area that is going down -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An expert appraisal from Priority First Appraisal LLC is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment. Recently got a freeze your HELOC?Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in or near a declining area. This can this be troublesome from a cash flow angle, and detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Priority First Appraisal LLC can provide you with efficient appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC. Field and Desktop Appraisal Review ServicesHave you just been handed a copy of your appraisal and you'd wish to have a seasoned appraiser double-check it for precision or do you need a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Priority First Appraisal LLC can go out and check the subject and comps in a field review. Or, if you're in a hurry, 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. Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal? Priority First Appraisal LLC can help with that too. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may wish to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home. |
