At Redner Appraisal Services, we understand the unique needs of a homeowner seeking appraisal services. The appraisal process and reporting formats are familiar to our business clients like banks, attorneys, and CPAs. Being a homeowner that most likely doesn't look at appraisals on a regular basis, you'll receive extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to more clearly understand what we do and how we present the results of our analysis.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale by Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Redner Appraisal Services are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Let's say your home is not appreciating as much as other properties close by -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That 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 a matter like this, the better off you'll be. An expert appraisal from Redner Appraisal Services is your number one weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is an attractive money saver for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is less than 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. We are seasoned in helping clients just like you abolish undesirable PMI insurance.

Recently got a freeze to your HELOC?

If your house is near a declining area, your lender just might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be disadvantageous from a cash flow point of view, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Redner Appraisal Services can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been handed a copy of your appraisal and you'd prefer to have an expert double-check it for efficiency or do you need a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comps in a field review. If you need it ASAP, 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.

We can also provide you with a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had in the past. Although most review work is commissioned by lenders, homeowners suspecting a prior appraisal wasn't above board are wise to invest in a second opinion.
