At CB Appraisal Corp., we understand the particular needs of a customer seeking appraisal services.

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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at CB Appraisal Corp. are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your house, 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. CB Appraisal Corp. is veterans in helping folks just like you rid yourselves of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in an area that is declining. This means you're most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better. An appraisal from CB Appraisal Corp. is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is in or near a declining area, your lender just may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be annoying from a cash flow standpoint, and detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. CB Appraisal Corp. can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.

We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just gotten a copy of your appraisal and you'd like to have a veteran appraiser double-check it for preciseness or do you desire a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from CB Appraisal Corp. can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. If you need it immediately, we'll provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have in your possession. While typically requested by banks, you may wish to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
