We at Branch Appraisal Services, Inc understand the particular needs of a homeowner seeking appraisal services.

But as a consumer,we will give you extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to better understand what we do and how we present the results of our analysis.

For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Branch Appraisal Services, Inc, are objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just you saying how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value estimation than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is down below 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 Branch Appraisal Services, Inc, we're qualified in helping folks just like you remove unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Lets say you live in a local area that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only 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 faster you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. An appraisal report from Branch Appraisal Services, Inc is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is close to a declining area, your lender might just 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 viewpoint, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Branch Appraisal Services, Inc can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you wish a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for verity? Branch Appraisal Services, Inc offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comparables in question. If you're in a rush, we'll 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 report? Branch Appraisal Services, Inc can help with that too. While usually requested by banks, you may desire to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
