For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Tri-County Appraisal Group, Inc. will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value -- not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

An attractive way to cut costs 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". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. At Tri-County Appraisal Group, Inc., we're qualified in helping clients just like you rid yourselves of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

If you live in an area that is declining or is not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you're 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. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Tri-County Appraisal Group, Inc. is your perfect weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in or near a declining area. Not only can this be troublesome from a cash flow angle, but it can be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Tri-County Appraisal Group, Inc. can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you wish a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you need an expert to double-check your appraisal for precision? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comps in question. 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.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? We can help with that too. While usually requested by banks, you may desire to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
