We at Radius Appraisal, LLC understand the unique needs of a consumer seeking appraisal services. Our typical business clients get the appraisal process and the customary "products" we deliver to them. Being a person not in the real estate business that probably doesn't look at appraisals every day,we will give you extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to more fully understand what we do and how we document our conclusions.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Radius Appraisal, LLC, will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract interested buyers. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

A fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your property, 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. At Radius Appraisal, LLC, we're veterans in helping customers just like you rid yourselves of unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a local area that's declining or is not appreciating as much as other homes nearby. This only means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from Radius Appraisal, LLC is your perfect weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult from a cash flow point of view. Radius Appraisal, LLC can provide you with efficient appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been handed a copy of your appraisal and you would wish to have a seasoned appraiser double-check it for accuracy or do you need a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Radius Appraisal, LLC offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables. Or, if you need it immediately, we can 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 report you may have had in the past. While typically requested by banks, you may wish to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
