We at Pinnacle Appraisal Group understand the unique needs of a homeowner seeking appraisal services.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale by Owner (FSBO)

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Pinnacle 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 selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that's declining or not appreciating as much as other properties nearby. That only means you're probably paying more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal from Pinnacle Appraisal Group is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to save money for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're experts in helping people just like you delete unneeded PMI insurance.

Recently got a freeze to your HELOC?

Your lender may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be troublesome from a cash flow angle, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Pinnacle Appraisal Group can provide you with a professional appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been handed a copy of your appraisal and you'd prefer to have a professional double-check it for verity or do you desire a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Pinnacle Appraisal Group offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comps in question. Or, if you need it 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.

We can also provide you with a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had done before. Even though most appraisal reviews are requested by lenders, homeowners suspecting a prior appraisal wasn't above board are prudent to invest in a second opinion.
