For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your home because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Grand Appraisals, are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It's something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value assessment than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

An attractive way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled 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 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. At Grand Appraisals, we're seasoned in helping folks just like you rid yourselves of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging Teton county's assessment of your property

Lets say you live in a region that is going down -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. The faster you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal from Grand Appraisals is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in a declining area. Not only can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Grand 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 been given a copy of your appraisal and you'd prefer to have a professional double-check it for verity or do you need a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. If you're in a rush, we'll provide you with a 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 report? Grand Appraisals can help you with that. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may want to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
