At Alpha-Omega Appraisal Service, Inc., we understand the individual needs of a homeowner seeking appraisal services. The appraisal process and reporting formats are relatively routine to our business clients like lenders, lawyers, and CPAs. But as a general consumer,we'll be sure you get extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to understand what we do and how we report our conclusions.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Alpha-Omega Appraisal Service, Inc. are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. The appraisal is 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. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A popular way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are experienced in helping folks just like you rid yourselves of unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

If you live in a local area that is going down or not appreciating as much as other houses nearby, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an expert appraisal from Alpha-Omega Appraisal Service, Inc. is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in or near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be inopportune from a cash flow point of view, and unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Alpha-Omega Appraisal Service, Inc. can provide you with an expert appraisal that will help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

We Also Provide 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 expert to double-check your appraisal for accuracy? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comparables in question. Or, if you need it 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? Alpha-Omega Appraisal Service, Inc. can help you with that. While usually requested by banks, you may desire to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
