Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Metro Appraisal Group, Inc., will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have a potential 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. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A popular way to save money 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". Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Metro Appraisal Group, Inc. is qualified in helping customers just like you abolish unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say you live in a local area that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. The sooner you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An expert appraisal from Metro Appraisal Group, Inc. is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is near a declining area, your lender may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow angle, but it can be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Metro Appraisal Group, Inc. can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.

We Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you prefer a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for precision? Metro Appraisal Group, Inc. offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables. If you need it ASAP, we'll provide 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? Metro Appraisal Group, Inc. can help with that too. While usually requested by banks, you may need to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
