For-Sale-by-Owner (FSBO) / Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Manatee Appraisal LLC 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 selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Challenging Miami-Dade County's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that's declining. This 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 quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. Getting a professional appraisal from Manatee Appraisal LLC is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Appraisals to remove PMI

A popular way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're experienced in helping consumers just like you rid yourselves of undesirable PMI insurance.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is 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 be inconvenient from a cash flow standpoint, and destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Manatee Appraisal LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.

We Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need an expert to double-check your appraisal for accuracy, or do you desire a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Manatee Appraisal LLC can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. Or, if you need it 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.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal? We can help with that too. Even though most appraisal reviews are requested by lenders for quality control, homeowners suspecting they've been the victim of mortgage fraud are wise to invest in a second opinion.
