We at AmeriMac understand the individual needs of a consumer looking for appraisal services. Our regular business clients are used to the appraisal process and the standard "products" we deliver to them. But as a general consumer,you will receive extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to better understand what we do and how we present our findings.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at AmeriMac are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value -- not just you saying how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value opinion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to save money for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At AmeriMac, we're seasoned in helping customers just like you remove unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that's declining or not appreciating as much as other homes nearby. That only means you are most likely paying more taxes than you should. The faster 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. An appraisal report from AmeriMac is your number one weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in or near a declining area. This can be be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inconvenient from a cash flow angle. AmeriMac can provide you with efficient appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been handed a copy of your appraisal and you'd like to have a seasoned professional double-check it for efficiency or do you desire a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal?

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.
