At South Shore Realty Advisors, Inc, we understand the special needs of a homeowner after appraisal services.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner (FSBO)

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at South Shore Realty Advisors, Inc 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 very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your property, 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. We are experienced in helping consumers just like you remove unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that is going down. That means you are paying more taxes than you should. The sooner 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 South Shore Realty Advisors, Inc is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is close to a declining area. Not only can this be difficult from a cash flow point of view, but it can be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. South Shore Realty Advisors, Inc can provide you with an expert appraisal that will help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just accepted a copy of your appraisal and you would like to have a veteran appraiser double-check it for efficiency or do you want a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from South Shore Realty Advisors, Inc can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. 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.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have had in the past. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may wish to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
