We at NW Valuation Group, LLC. understand the particular needs of a consumer seeking appraisal services. While our typical business clients understand the appraisal process and standard reporting formats, you as a consumer will get an extra level of customer service in the form of an explanation of the process and even special consumer-friendly reporting forms if the assignment allows for them.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at NW Valuation Group, LLC. will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers. It's something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, and not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

A popular money saver for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated 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 down 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. We're qualified in helping folks just like you delete unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Lets say you live in an area that's going down -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This only means you are probably 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 off you'll be. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from NW Valuation Group, LLC. is your perfect weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is near a declining area, your lender may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be inopportune from a cash flow point of view, and unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. A professional appraisal from NW Valuation Group, LLC. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just gotten a copy of your appraisal and you'd wish to have an expert double-check it for preciseness or do you need a second opinion without the cost 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 you with a 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? NW Valuation Group, LLC. can help with that too. While typically requested by banks, you may wish to utilize this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
