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. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable 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 house's price, and not just you saying how much your house is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to cut expenses for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Carolina Property Group is qualified in helping consumers just like you get rid of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Charleston county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your home is not appreciating as much as other houses close by. That only means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better. Getting an appraisal from Carolina Property Group is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in or near a declining area. Not only can this be difficult from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Carolina Property Group can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you would wish to have a veteran appraiser double-check it for precision or do you desire a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comps in question. Or, if you need it in a rush, we can provide you with a 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 report? We can help with that too. While usually requested by banks, you may desire to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
