We at MAS Appraisals LLC understand the special needs of a homeowner looking for appraisal services.

As our non-traditionalclient, we will give you extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to better understand what we do and how we document the results of our analysis.

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 MAS Appraisals LLC, are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract interested buyers. It's something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable 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 less than 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. At MAS Appraisals LLC, we're veterans in helping consumers just like you remove unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging Thurston county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your home not appreciating as much as other properties close by. That only means you are paying more taxes than you should. The earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal report from MAS Appraisals LLC is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may just 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 be be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also annoying from a cash flow point of view. MAS Appraisals LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been handed a copy of your appraisal and you would wish to have a seasoned appraiser double-check it for verity or do you desire a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from MAS Appraisals LLC can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. Or, if you need it in a rush, we can 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 desire to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
