Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract many interested buyers. It's something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value opinion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to save money for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is 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. Crystal Coast Appraisal Group LLC is experts in helping clients just like you get rid of unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a local area that's declining or is not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours. That means you're 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 things like this, the better off you'll be. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Crystal Coast Appraisal Group LLC is your #1 weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be unsuitable from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An efficient appraisal from Crystal Coast Appraisal Group LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you would prefer to have a seasoned professional double-check it for preciseness or do you need a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Crystal Coast Appraisal Group LLC can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. If you're in a rush, we'll 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? Crystal Coast Appraisal Group LLC can help with that too. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may need to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
