At ALS Appraisal Services, we understand the unique needs of a homeowner seeking appraisal services. Our usual business clients understand the appraisal process and the standard documents we provide.

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. Our professional appraisers at ALS Appraisal Services are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. ALS Appraisal Services is veterans in helping homeowners just like you dismiss unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging San Bernardino county's assessment of your property

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other properties close by -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That means you're probably paying more taxes than you should. The faster you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An expert appraisal from ALS Appraisal Services is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might just make the decision 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. Not only can this be annoying from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. ALS Appraisal Services can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you would like to have an expert double-check it for verity or do you need a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from ALS Appraisal Services can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. If you need it in a rush, we'll provide you with a 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 done before. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may want to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
