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

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at GA Appraisal Services are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. At GA Appraisal Services, we're seasoned in helping folks just like you get rid of undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Lets say you live in a local area that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you are going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. 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. Getting an appraisal report from GA Appraisal Services is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your home is in a declining area, your lender might just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also unsuitable from a cash flow point of view. GA Appraisal Services can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you prefer a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a professional to double-check your appraisal for verity? An appraiser from GA Appraisal Services can go out and check the subject and comps in a field review. If you're in a hurry, we'll provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.
