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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about 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. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract interested buyers. It's something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, and not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive money saver for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. ASAP Appraisal Group is experienced in helping clients just like you abolish unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Lets say you live in a local area that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you're paying more taxes than you should. The earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal from ASAP Appraisal Group is your number one weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is near a declining area. Not only can this be troublesome from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. ASAP Appraisal Group can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.
