At Patricia Conant, we understand the individual needs of a consumer seeking appraisal services.

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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Patricia Conant, are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, and not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI removed 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 the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We are seasoned in helping customers just like you do away with unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Plymouth 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 homes close to yours. This means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The faster 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 a professional appraisal from Patricia Conant is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is near a declining area, your lender may just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow angle, and harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Patricia Conant can provide you with efficient appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just received a copy of your appraisal and you would like to have a veteran appraiser double-check it for precision or do you want a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Patricia Conant offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comps in question. If you're 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.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal? We can help with that too. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may want to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
