We at Atlantic Valuation Group understand the unique needs of a homeowner looking for appraisal services. While our typical business clients understand the appraisal process and standard reporting formats, you as a consumer will get extra service in the form of an explanation of the process and even special consumer-friendly reporting forms if the assignment allows for them. For Sale by Owner (FSBO)/Pre-Listing ServicesSince you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Atlantic Valuation Group will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract buyers. It's something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's market value, not just how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value opinion than yours.Challenge property tax assessmentsYour local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your home not appreciating as much as other properties nearby. That only means you are most likely paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of things like this, the better. Getting an appraisal from Atlantic Valuation Group is your number one weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.PMI Removal AppraisalsPMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are seasoned in helping people just like you remove undesirable PMI insurance.Was your HELOC recently frozen?Your lender might just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Atlantic Valuation Group can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review ServicesDo you need a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for preciseness, or do you want a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comparables in question. Or, if you need it immediately, we can provide you with a 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? We can assist you. While usually requested by banks, you may want to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property. |
