At Macoe Davis Appraisals, we understand the special needs of a consumer in need of appraisal services.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Macoe Davis Appraisals are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value -- not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is an attractive money saver for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We're seasoned in helping consumers just like you get rid of unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say you live in an area that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. The quicker 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. Getting an appraisal from Macoe Davis Appraisals is your best weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in or near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult from a cash flow point of view. Macoe Davis Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need an expert to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you want a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Macoe Davis Appraisals offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comps. Or, if you're in a hurry, 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 report you may have in your possession. While typically requested by banks, you may desire to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
