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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at R2 Valuations will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, and not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value report than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

A fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". 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 removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. R2 Valuations is experienced in helping clients just like you abolish unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a local area that is going down. That only means you are most likely paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of things like this, the better. Getting an appraisal from R2 Valuations is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is in a declining area, your lender may just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow angle, but it can be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. R2 Valuations can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you desire a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? R2 Valuations offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables. 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.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had in the past. While usually requested by banks, you may wish to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
