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

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at NW Atlanta Appraisals will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract 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 you think your house is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value report than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your home, 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. We are qualified in helping customers just like you do away with unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

If you live in a local area that is going down or not appreciating as much as other homes close by, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. 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. Getting an appraisal from NW Atlanta Appraisals is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

An appraisal from NW Atlanta Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.
