At Antares Appraisal Group, Inc., we understand the special needs of a customer seeking appraisal services. Our customary business clients understand the appraisal process and the customary documents we provide. But as a general consumer,we will give you extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to better understand what we do and how we document the results of our analysis.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Antares Appraisal Group, Inc. will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value judgement than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. 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. 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 your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. Antares Appraisal Group, Inc. is experts in helping clients just like you dismiss unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours. This means you're going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. The quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Antares Appraisal Group, Inc. is your chief weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender may just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be troublesome from a cash flow point of view, but it can be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Antares Appraisal Group, Inc. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just accepted a copy of your appraisal and you would wish to have a professional double-check it for precision or do you want a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. If you need it in a rush, 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? Antares Appraisal Group, Inc. can help you with that. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may want to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
