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

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Appraisal Group of Northern NE 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 an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value estimation than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

An attractive way to cut expenses for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. At Appraisal Group of Northern NE, we're qualified in helping homeowners just like you rid yourselves of unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other homes close by. This only means you're most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal from Appraisal Group of Northern NE is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be inconvenient from a cash flow standpoint, and destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Appraisal Group of Northern NE can provide you with an expert appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just gotten a copy of your appraisal and you would wish to have a professional double-check it for efficiency or do you need a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Appraisal Group of Northern NE can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. Or, if you're in a hurry, 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 a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have had in the past. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may wish to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
