At Four Corners Appraisal Group, we understand the particular needs of a consumer looking for appraisal services.

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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Four Corners Appraisal Group are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers. It's something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, not just you saying how much you think your home 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 seasoned appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to remove 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 less than 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. Four Corners Appraisal Group is veterans in helping consumers just like you do away with unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that's going down or not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours. That means you are probably paying more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Four Corners Appraisal Group is your best weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area. This can this be annoying from a cash flow standpoint, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Four Corners Appraisal Group can provide you with an expert appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just received a copy of your appraisal and you would wish to have a seasoned expert double-check it for preciseness or do you want a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Four Corners Appraisal Group can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. If you're in a hurry, we'll 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? Four Corners Appraisal Group can help with that too. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may need to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
