We at CMG Appraisals understand the unique needs of a consumer looking for appraisal services. Our typical business clients are used to the appraisal process and the customary documents we provide.

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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at CMG Appraisals 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 a very important negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to cut expenses 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 less than 80% of the value of your home, 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 experienced in helping people just like you delete unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

If you live in a local area that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other homes nearby, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. The quicker 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. An appraisal report from CMG Appraisals is your best weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in a declining area. This can be be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inopportune from a cash flow point of view. CMG Appraisals can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just gotten a copy of your appraisal and you would like to have a seasoned professional double-check it for preciseness or do you need a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from CMG Appraisals can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. If you're in a hurry, we'll provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal? CMG Appraisals can help with that too. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may wish to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
