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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about 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 price to sell at so your house will attract buyers. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, not just you saying how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

A fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled 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 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 seasoned in helping homeowners just like you rid yourselves of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging Summit county's assessment of your property

If you live in a local area that is declining or not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you are paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from Around The Clock Appraisals is your chief weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender might choose 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 negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult from a cash flow point of view. An efficient appraisal from Around The Clock Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Would you prefer a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you need a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for precision?

If you need it immediately, 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 report you may have had in the past. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may need to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
