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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Foundation Appraisal will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a crucial 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 interested buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to cut costs for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is down 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. We're seasoned in helping consumers just like you do away with unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours. That only means you're paying more taxes than you should. The earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Foundation Appraisal is your #1 weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just might 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 difficult from a cash flow angle, and bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An appraisal from Foundation Appraisal can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you prefer a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for precision? Foundation Appraisal offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comps. Or, if you're in a rush, we can provide you with a 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 report? Foundation Appraisal can help with that too. While usually requested by banks, you may desire to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
