At Ironman Appraisals, we understand the individual needs of a homeowner after appraisal services. While our usual clients understand the appraisal process and standard reporting formats, you as a consumer will get extra 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 Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Ironman Appraisals will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very valuable 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. It's something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value estimation than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

A preferred money saver 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 amount is down below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Ironman Appraisals, we're seasoned in helping folks just like you rid yourselves of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

If you live in a local area that is declining or is not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This only means you are paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Ironman Appraisals is your chief weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is near a declining area. Not only can this be unsuitable from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Ironman Appraisals can provide you with efficient appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you wish a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you need an expert to double-check your appraisal for verity? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comparables in question. 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.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? We can help with that too. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may want to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
