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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Alpine Appraisal Group 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 price to sell at so your house will attract interested buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value opinion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're qualified in helping homeowners just like you rid themselves of unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other homes nearby -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you are probably paying more taxes than you should. The faster you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting a professional appraisal from Alpine Appraisal Group is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also unsuitable from a cash flow standpoint. Alpine Appraisal Group can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need an expert to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you desire a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Alpine Appraisal Group can go out and check the subject and comps in a field review. 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.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal? We can help with that too. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may desire to utilize this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
