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. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Pollock Appraisal Group, LLC, are objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very important 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's something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value opinion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a fashionable money saver for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. At Pollock Appraisal Group, LLC, we're experts in helping folks just like you rid themselves of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that is declining. That means you're 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 things like this, the better. A professional appraisal from Pollock Appraisal Group, LLC is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be disadvantageous from a cash flow point of view, but it can be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Pollock Appraisal Group, LLC can provide you with an expert appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for efficiency, or do you want a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. Or, if you need it in a rush, we can provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

We can also provide you with a a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have had in the past. While typically requested by banks, you may need to utilize this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
