Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at The Terrell Group Appraisal Service (470)529-3288 will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It's something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At The Terrell Group Appraisal Service (470)529-3288, we're experts in helping customers just like you abolish undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a local area that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other homes nearby. This only 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 sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better. Getting a professional appraisal from The Terrell Group Appraisal Service (470)529-3288 is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be troublesome from a cash flow angle, but it can be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. The Terrell Group Appraisal Service (470)529-3288 can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you like a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for accuracy? We can go out and check the subject and comps in a field review. If you need it in a rush, we'll provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have in your possession. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may wish to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
