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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Alaska Appraisal & Consulting Group will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract buyers. It's something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value -- not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We are seasoned in helping customers just like you abolish unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

If you live in a local area that is going down or not appreciating as much as other homes close by, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you are paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better. An appraisal from Alaska Appraisal & Consulting Group is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your house is near a declining area, your lender might just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value.

Alaska Appraisal & Consulting Group can help you reinstate your HELOC.
