At Pacific Cove Appraisals, Inc. we offer a variety of appraisal and real estate services. Real estate agents may need a rock-solid pre-listing appraisal. Homeowners doing estate planning may require a current valuation. Are this year's property taxes too high? An appraisal can help settle the matter!
Here is the list of the real estate products we offer:
General Purpose Residential Appraisals
Also known as general value inquiries, these private use appraisals are primarily used for non-financial transactions. They are easier to read and understand than government required (Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac) forms.
Listing Appraisals
Whether you are selling or buying a home, sometimes an expert opinion can provide the final assurance that you need to make a decision. Since all full appraisals require measurement of the home, you’ll also be assured of the home's actual square footage!
Mortgages & Lending
Most loans that are regulated by the government are now required to follow HVCC guidelines and lenders must order their appraisals through a 3rd party; however, home loans that are not backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac are free of this requirement allowing you to choose your own appraiser. These are typically loans issued by credit unions or small home equity loans.
Tax Protest, Disputes, & Appeals
The most important evidence you can bring to a tax protest, whether you’re meeting the board in a formal hearing or a county staff appraiser for an informal hearing, is an appraisal completed by a state-certified appraiser!
PMI Removal
This is the type of appraisal you will need to remove Private Mortgage Insurance from your loan payment. If your home’s value has increased, you may have enough equity to delete your PMI.
Home Measurements for Square Footage
You may not be sure of the exact size of your home. An addition or conversion of an attached structure could require the need of an actual calculation of the gross living area (GLA) and square footage. We offer home measurements that follow industry standards.
Divorce, Estate, & Probate
Whenever real estate is involved in a legal matter, an appraisal is almost always needed to determine value – past, present or future. Our appraisal reports are detailed and concise, providing an exact number for the courts to use for a basis of value.
