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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because of your emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Carter Appraisal Group L.L.C. are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers. It's something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just how much 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 an expert appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

A preferred way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. At Carter Appraisal Group L.L.C., we're seasoned in helping consumers just like you dismiss unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Maricopa county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that's going down or not appreciating as much as other properties nearby. This only means you are going to pay 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. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Carter Appraisal Group L.L.C. is your chief weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender may decide 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 difficult and inconvenient 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. Carter Appraisal Group L.L.C. can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Or, if you're 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.
