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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value -- not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value estimation than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

A popular money saver for homeowners is to get 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 home. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We are qualified in helping homeowners just like you remove unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging Maricopa county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your home is not appreciating as much as other homes nearby. This means you're going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from Select Appraisal Group is your #1 weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in or near a declining area. This can be be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also disadvantageous from a cash flow angle. Select Appraisal Group can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.
