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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract many interested buyers. It's something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, and not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a fashionable money saver for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We are experts in helping folks just like you rid themselves of undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge Charleston county's assessment of your property

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your house 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 earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. Getting a professional appraisal from Authentic Appraisal Group LLC is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is in or near a declining area, your lender might just choose 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 disadvantageous from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Authentic Appraisal Group LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.
