We at Great Plains Appraisals understand the particular needs of a consumer seeking appraisal services.

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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because of your emotional attachment to it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- 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 an expert appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

An attractive way to cut expenses 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". Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Great Plains Appraisals, we're experienced in helping consumers just like you abolish undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge Pawnee county's assessment of your property

Lets say you live in an area that's going down -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you're paying more taxes than you should. The sooner you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal report from Great Plains Appraisals is your number one weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just may choose 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 this be difficult from a cash flow viewpoint, and destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An expert appraisal from Great Plains Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for accuracy, or do you desire a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comparables in question. If you're in a hurry, 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 in your possession. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may want to utilize this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
