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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at A-1 Appraisal Group, Inc. will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract buyers. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a popular way to cut costs for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At A-1 Appraisal Group, Inc., we're seasoned in helping people just like you rid themselves of unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Miami-Dade county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours. That only means you are paying more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from A-1 Appraisal Group, Inc. is your strongest weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is in a declining area, your lender might just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be disadvantageous from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. A-1 Appraisal Group, Inc. can provide you with a professional appraisal that will help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just gotten a copy of your appraisal and you'd wish to have a seasoned professional double-check it for preciseness or do you desire a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? A-1 Appraisal Group, Inc. offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables. Or, if you need it immediately, we can provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal? A-1 Appraisal Group, Inc. can help you with that. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may need to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
