We at B & B Valuations, LLC understand the individual needs of a customer seeking appraisal services.

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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at B & B Valuations, LLC will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a preferred money saver for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is less than 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 are qualified in helping consumers just like you remove unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Lets say you live in a local area that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. An appraisal report from B & B Valuations, LLC is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in or near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be inopportune from a cash flow angle, and bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. B & B Valuations, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you like a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you need a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for preciseness? B & B Valuations, LLC offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comps. If you're in a hurry, 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.

We can also provide you with a a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have had in the past. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may desire to utilize this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
