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

It's very hard to be objective about your house because of your emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Appraisal Quest Co. (805) 469-3088 will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract many interested buyers. It's something concrete to show the 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. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

A preferred way to cut costs for homeowners is getting 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 is less than 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Appraisal Quest Co. (805) 469-3088 is experts in helping clients just like you get rid of unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging Ventura county's assessment of your property

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other houses close by -- 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 off you'll be. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Appraisal Quest Co. (805) 469-3088 is your #1 weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be inopportune from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Appraisal Quest Co. (805) 469-3088 can help you reinstate your HELOC.

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.
