At Lee Pruett Appraisal Svc, we understand the individual needs of a homeowner in need of appraisal services. The appraisal process and reporting formats are relatively routine to our business clients like banks, lawyers, and accountants.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Lee Pruett Appraisal Svc will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

A popular way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. At Lee Pruett Appraisal Svc, we're seasoned in helping homeowners just like you get rid of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a local area that's declining. That only means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. Getting an appraisal report from Lee Pruett Appraisal Svc is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your home is near a declining area, your lender just might 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 inconvenient from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Lee Pruett Appraisal Svc can provide you with efficient appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a seasoned professional 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? Lee Pruett Appraisal Svc offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comps in question. If you need it ASAP, we'll provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? We can help with that too. While usually requested by banks, you may wish to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
