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

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

Appraisals to cancel PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. At ASAP Appraisal Group, we're experts in helping consumers just like you remove unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in an area that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other houses close by. That means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. The faster 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. A professional appraisal from ASAP Appraisal Group is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is close to a declining area. This can this be unsuitable from a cash flow angle, and destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. A professional appraisal from ASAP Appraisal Group can help you reinstate your HELOC.
