For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at RJW Appraisal Group, LLC, will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract interested buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

A fashionable money saver 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 is below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We are experienced in helping homeowners just like you do away with unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Fairfield county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that is declining or not appreciating as much as other properties close by. This means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal report from RJW Appraisal Group, LLC is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is close to a declining area, your lender might just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be annoying from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An appraisal from RJW Appraisal Group, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you want a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from RJW Appraisal Group, LLC can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. If you need it in a rush, we'll provide 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 usually requested by banks, you may want to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
