Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Arkansas River Valley Appraisals will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to remove 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 is down below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're experienced in helping customers just like you delete unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging Pope county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your house not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours. This only means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better. Getting an expert appraisal from Arkansas River Valley Appraisals is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow angle, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Arkansas River Valley Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you wish a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want an expert to double-check your appraisal for accuracy? We can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. If you're in a rush, we'll provide 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? Arkansas River Valley Appraisals can help with that too. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may want to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
