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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Riverbridge Appraisal Services, LLC 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 price to sell at so your property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a fashionable money saver for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. Riverbridge Appraisal Services, LLC is qualified in helping people just like you delete unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Cuyahoga county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your home not appreciating as much as other homes close by. That only means you are probably paying more taxes than you should. The earlier you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Riverbridge Appraisal Services, LLC is your #1 weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house 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. Riverbridge Appraisal Services, LLC can provide you with a professional appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you like a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for precision? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comps in question. 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? Riverbridge Appraisal Services, LLC can help with that too. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may desire to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
