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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Atlantic Appraisal Service, 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 a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, and not just you saying how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a fashionable money saver for homeowners. 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 removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are experts in helping consumers just like you abolish unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

If you live in an area that is declining or not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you're paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Atlantic Appraisal Service, Inc. is your chief weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in a declining area. This can this be annoying from a cash flow viewpoint, and bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An efficient appraisal from Atlantic Appraisal Service, Inc. can help you reinstate your HELOC.
