At Parallelle Appraisal , we understand the particular needs of a consumer looking for 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. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Parallelle Appraisal , will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just you saying how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to cut expenses for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Parallelle Appraisal is qualified in helping customers just like you rid yourselves of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other homes nearby -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you are going to pay 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. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from Parallelle Appraisal is your chief weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is near a declining area, your lender just may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be troublesome from a cash flow angle, but it can be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Parallelle Appraisal can provide you with an expert appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a professional to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you want a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comparables 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.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? Parallelle Appraisal can help you with that. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may wish to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
