At Pawlak Appraisal Service, we understand the individual needs of a customer after appraisal services. Our typical business clients are used to the appraisal process and the usual "products" we deliver to them. But as a consumer,you will receive extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to more fully understand what we do and how we present the results of our analysis.

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. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Pawlak Appraisal Service, are objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. 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 house will attract buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A preferred way to cut expenses 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 less than 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Pawlak Appraisal Service, we're experienced in helping clients just like you get rid of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

If you live in an area that is going down or not appreciating as much as other houses nearby, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you're 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. Getting an appraisal from Pawlak Appraisal Service is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your property is near 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. This can be be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inconvenient from a cash flow point of view. An expert appraisal from Pawlak Appraisal Service can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been handed a copy of your appraisal and you would prefer to have a veteran appraiser double-check it for accuracy or do you need a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comps in question. Or, if you need it immediately, we can provide 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? Pawlak Appraisal Service can help you with that. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may wish to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
