At Pacific Crest Appraisals LLC, we understand the particular needs of a homeowner in need of appraisal services.

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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Pacific Crest Appraisals LLC, are objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract many interested buyers. It's something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is an attractive money saver for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Pacific Crest Appraisals LLC, we're experts in helping consumers just like you abolish undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a local area that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours. This means you are going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. A professional appraisal from Pacific Crest Appraisals LLC is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in or near a declining area. Not only can this be troublesome 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. Pacific Crest Appraisals LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.
