At Mac Appraisal Services, Inc., we understand the unique needs of a customer seeking appraisal services. Our usual business clients understand the appraisal process and the standard "products" we deliver to them. But as a consumer,you will receive extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to understand what we do and how we present our conclusions.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. A professional appraiser is objective and will 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 house will attract interested buyers. It gives you something tangible 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. 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 judgement than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a popular way to cut costs 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 the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We're qualified in helping homeowners just like you remove unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Broward county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a local area that's declining. This only means you are paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. Getting a professional appraisal from Mac Appraisal Services, Inc. is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is close to a declining area. This can be be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult from a cash flow angle. Mac Appraisal Services, Inc. can provide you with an expert appraisal that will help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need an expert to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you need a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. Or, if you're in a hurry, 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.

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