Homeowner Appraisal Services

Homeowners need appraisals or appraisal reviews for a variety of reasons, including a mortgage refinance, home equity loans, Pre-listing services, and PMI removal. When you order an appraisal or review from August Appraisals, you can rest assured that you will get the best in professional service, courtesy, and quality.

Refinance / Home Equity

Be sure that you request August Appraisals if your lender asks you for YOUR choice of appraisal firms. More than likely we are already on their "approved list," and if not we will quickly provide your lender with the necessary documentation to become approved.

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

Like many homeowners today you may decide to sell your home FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and forego the help of a real estate agent.  Selling your home by this method can save you a potentially "hefty" commission (industry average is 5-7% of the home's selling price).  If this is your choice, remember that a professional appraisal from August Appraisals can be a powerful negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer; it's accurate, concrete evidence of your home's value provided by an independant third party.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just received a copy of your appraisal and want to have a professional "double-check" it for accuracy?  Do you need a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal?

• Appraisal Field Reviews: We'll check your appraisal for accuracy and provide exterior "field inspections" of the subject and comparable properties for maximum appraisal certainty--perfect for any situation demanding a second opinion on value.
• Appraisal Desk Reviews: In a hurry and just want to "double-check" the facts? We'll use our extensive Internet research capabilities and office files to deliver reviews with the highest degree of precision in the industry.

Consultation

We understand the complexities of buying a home and will give you a high quality, professional appraisal that you can depend on!
