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

It's very hard to be objective about your house because of your emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at The Appraisal Group will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract buyers. It's something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

A fashionable way to cut expenses 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 is less than 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. The Appraisal Group is qualified in helping customers just like you rid yourselves of unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your home not appreciating as much as other homes close by. That only means you are probably paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from The Appraisal Group is your chief weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be disadvantageous from a cash flow angle, but it can be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. The Appraisal Group can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for precision, or do you need a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. Or, if you need it ASAP, we can 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? The Appraisal Group can help you with that. While usually requested by banks, you may need to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
