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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Rausch Appraisal Service, LLC will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

An attractive 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". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We're experts in helping clients just like you dismiss unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

If you live in a region that is declining or is not appreciating as much as other homes nearby, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That means you are paying 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. An expert appraisal from Rausch Appraisal Service, LLC is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in a declining area. This can be be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult from a cash flow viewpoint. Rausch Appraisal Service, LLC can provide you with an expert appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you like a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for precision? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comparables. 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.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? We can help with that too. While typically requested by banks, you may desire to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
