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

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Absolute Appraisals, IMI., will be 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 house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. 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 how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value opinion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to cut costs for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We're qualified in helping people just like you get rid of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Washtenaw county's assessment of your property

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. The sooner 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. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Absolute Appraisals, IMI. is your #1 weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in or near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be annoying from a cash flow viewpoint, and damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An efficient appraisal from Absolute Appraisals, IMI. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you like a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for precision? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comparables in question. If you're in a rush, we'll provide you with a 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 had in the past. While typically requested by banks, you may need to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
