At Capital City Appraisal Group, we understand the special needs of a customer looking for appraisal services.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale by Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your house because of your emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Capital City Appraisal Group 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 price to sell at so your property will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. 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 how much you think your house is worth. Potential 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.

Challenge Cobb County's assessment of your property

Let's say your home is not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This only means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. 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 off you'll be. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from Capital City Appraisal Group is your #1 weapon.

Appraisals to remove PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're qualified in helping folks just like you abolish unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Recently got a freeze to your HELOC?

If your property is near a declining area, your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be troublesome from a cash flow viewpoint, and bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Capital City Appraisal Group can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just gotten a copy of your appraisal and you would like to have a veteran appraiser double-check it for efficiency or do you desire a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comps in a field review. Or, if you need it in a rush, we can 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? We can help with that too. While usually requested by banks, you may wish to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
