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

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at RLM Appraisal Services, LLC. are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract interested buyers. It's 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 you think your house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

A popular money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We are seasoned in helping folks just like you get rid of unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Duval county's assessment of your property

If you live in a region that is going down or not appreciating as much as other properties nearby, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you are probably paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of things like this, the better. An appraisal report from RLM Appraisal Services, LLC. is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in or near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be annoying from a cash flow viewpoint, and detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. RLM Appraisal Services, LLC. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for accuracy, or do you desire a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? RLM Appraisal Services, LLC. offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables. If you need it 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? RLM Appraisal Services, LLC. can help with that too. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may want to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
