At Grosvenor Appraisals, Inc., we understand the unique needs of a consumer seeking appraisal services.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Grosvenor Appraisals, Inc. are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value judgement than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

A popular money saver 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 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. We're veterans in helping folks just like you abolish undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Lets say you live in a region that is going down -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. 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. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from Grosvenor Appraisals, Inc. is your #1 weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is near a declining area. This can this be inopportune from a cash flow angle, and destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Grosvenor Appraisals, Inc. can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.
