At Jason Rawlings, we understand the individual needs of a homeowner seeking appraisal services. Our business practices and reporting formats are relatively routine to our business clients like lenders, lawyers, and accountants. As our non-traditionalclient, we will give you extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to understand what we do and how we document our conclusions.

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. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is down 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. At Jason Rawlings, we're qualified in helping folks just like you do away with unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours. That 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 things like this, the better off you'll be. Getting a professional appraisal from Jason Rawlings is your number one weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your 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 angle, and harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Jason Rawlings can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you'd prefer to have a professional double-check it for precision or do you want a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. 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 report? Jason Rawlings can help you with that. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may need to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
