At Meredith A Krulee, we understand the unique needs of a homeowner after appraisal services. Our regular business clients understand the appraisal process and the standard "products" we deliver to them. But as a consumer,you can expect extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to more clearly understand what we do and how we present our conclusions.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Meredith A Krulee will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value opinion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to save money for homeowners. 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 canceled from your loan. At Meredith A Krulee, we're experts in helping homeowners just like you rid themselves of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Lets say you live in an area that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you are most likely paying more taxes than you should. The earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal report from Meredith A Krulee is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender just may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inopportune from a cash flow point of view. Meredith A Krulee can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just been handed a copy of your appraisal and you would prefer to have an expert double-check it for efficiency or do you desire a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Meredith A Krulee offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables. Or, if you need it in a rush, we can 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? Meredith A Krulee can help with that too. While usually requested by banks, you may need to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
