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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Arrowhead R.E. Services, are objective. We'll 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 an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers. It's something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A fashionable money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI removed 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 the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are seasoned in helping consumers just like you abolish unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging Honolulu county's assessment of your property

Lets say you live in an area that's going down -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you are paying more taxes than you should. The earlier 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. An appraisal from Arrowhead R.E. Services is your best weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is close to a declining area. This can this be disadvantageous 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. A professional appraisal from Arrowhead R.E. Services can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just accepted a copy of your appraisal and you would wish to have a seasoned professional double-check it for precision or do you desire a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comparables 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.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? Arrowhead R.E. Services can help you with that. While typically requested by banks, you may need to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
