We at Appraisal Consulting Group, PSC understand the particular needs of a consumer seeking appraisal services. Our usual business clients understand the appraisal process and the standard reporting formats. But as a general consumer,we will provide you with extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to more fully understand what we do and how we present our conclusions.

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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, 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 property will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, and not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

A popular way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated 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 house, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Appraisal Consulting Group, PSC, we're seasoned in helping consumers just like you get rid of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Carolina county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that is declining. That only means you are most likely paying 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 report from Appraisal Consulting Group, PSC is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your house 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. Not only can this be inopportune from a cash flow angle, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Appraisal Consulting Group, PSC can help you reinstate your HELOC.
