Pre-listing Services/For Sale by Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Brevard Appraisal Group are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a 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 interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Let's say your home is not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you are 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 things like this, the better. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from Brevard Appraisal Group is your number one weapon.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a popular way to save money for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your home, 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. At Brevard Appraisal Group, we're experts in helping consumers just like you delete unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in or near a declining area. Not only can this be annoying from a cash flow point of view, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. A professional appraisal from Brevard Appraisal Group can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you like a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you need a professional to double-check your appraisal for preciseness? An appraiser from Brevard Appraisal Group can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. Or, if you need it in a rush, we can provide you with a 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 done before. While usually requested by banks, you may wish to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
