At Bezdek Appraisals, we understand the particular needs of a homeowner after appraisal services.

For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Bezdek Appraisals 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 home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

An attractive money saver for homeowners is to get the PMI removed 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 is less than 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We're veterans in helping folks just like you remove unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

If you live in a region that is declining or not appreciating as much as other properties close by, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Bezdek Appraisals is your number one weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Bezdek Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for efficiency, or do you need a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Bezdek Appraisals can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. Or, if you're 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.

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