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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at AMG Appraisals LLC will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract many interested buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's market value, not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours. That only means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. 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. Getting an appraisal from AMG Appraisals LLC is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A popular way to cut costs 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 less than 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are seasoned in helping homeowners just like you delete unwanted PMI insurance.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also troublesome from a cash flow point of view. AMG Appraisals LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been handed a copy of your appraisal and you would wish to have a veteran appraiser double-check it for efficiency or do you need a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comparables. Or, if you need it immediately, we can 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 you with a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have had in the past. While typically requested by banks, you may need to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
