Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner (FSBO)It's very hard to be objective about your house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Alaska Appraisal & Consulting Group are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract many interested buyers. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value estimation than yours. Appraisals to remove PMIA preferred money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your property, 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 Alaska Appraisal & Consulting Group, we're qualified in helping customers just like you do away with unwanted PMI insurance. Challenge Tax AssessmentLets say you live in an area that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should.
