At Vann, LLC, we understand the unique needs of a homeowner looking for appraisal services.

But as a general consumer,you will receive extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to more fully understand what we do and how we document our conclusions.

For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Vann, LLC, will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial 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 home's price -- not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

A popular money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI removed 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 is less than 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We're qualified in helping clients just like you abolish unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you are probably paying more taxes than you should. The sooner you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal report from Vann, LLC is your number one weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be troublesome from a cash flow standpoint, and destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Vann, LLC can provide you with efficient appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for efficiency, or do you need a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Vann, LLC offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comps. If you need it in a rush, we'll 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? Vann, LLC can help you with that. While usually requested by banks, you may desire to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
