At Western Mich App Services LLC, we understand the individual needs of a homeowner looking for appraisal services. While our typical clients understand the appraisal process and standard reporting formats, you as a consumer will get extra customer service in the form of an explanation of the process and even special consumer-friendly reporting forms if the assignment allows for them.

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

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your house, 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 are veterans in helping customers just like you dismiss undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say you live in a local area that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This only means you are going to pay 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. An appraisal report from Western Mich App Services LLC is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in or near 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 unsuitable from a cash flow angle. Western Mich App Services LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for efficiency, or do you need a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. Or, if you're in a rush, 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 in your possession. While usually requested by banks, you may want to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
