At Raimondi Appraisals, we understand the particular needs of a customer looking for appraisal services.

For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Raimondi Appraisals are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

An attractive way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We are seasoned in helping clients just like you remove unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging Lee county's assessment of your property

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other houses close by -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This only means you're most likely 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. A professional appraisal from Raimondi Appraisals is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in a declining area. Not only can this be annoying from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Raimondi Appraisals can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you prefer a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want an expert to double-check your appraisal for verity? We can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. If you need it immediately, we'll provide 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 report you may have had in the past. While typically requested by banks, you may desire to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
