At Wade Valuation Services, we understand the individual needs of a customer looking for appraisal services.

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

It's very hard to be objective about your home because of your emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Wade Valuation 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 house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value -- not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred money saver for homeowners is to get 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 amount is down below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We're experts in helping customers just like you abolish unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging Clark county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby. This only means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The faster you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal report from Wade Valuation Services is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be unsuitable from a cash flow point of view, and unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Wade Valuation Services can provide you with a professional appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a professional to double-check your appraisal for efficiency, or do you want a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comparables in question. 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.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal? Wade Valuation Services can help with that too. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may wish to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
