Real estate appraisal services for homeowners in the city of Omaha and Douglas CountyCheck out the top seven reasons Nebraska homeowners use Citywide Appraisals:
We at Citywide Appraisals understand the individual needs of a consumer after appraisal services. While our typical clients understand the appraisal process and standard reporting formats, you as a consumer will get an extra level of customer service in the form of an explanation of the process and even special consumer-friendly reporting forms if the assignment allows for them. Pre-listing Services/For Sale by OwnerIt's very hard to be objective about your home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Citywide Appraisals 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 selling price so your property will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's market value, not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value estimation than yours.Challenge a property tax assessmentLet's say your home is not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. 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 expert appraisal from Citywide Appraisals is your number one weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.Appraisals to remove PMIGetting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a popular money saver for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down 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. We're experienced in helping homeowners just like you dismiss unwanted PMI insurance.Recently got a freeze to your HELOC?Your lender may just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be disadvantageous 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. An efficient appraisal from Citywide Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?Would you like a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire an expert to double-check your appraisal for verity? An appraiser from Citywide Appraisals can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. If you need it in a rush, we'll 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 you with a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have had in the past. While usually requested by banks, you may desire to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property. |
