For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Edge Appraisal Services are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, and not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Edge Appraisal Services, we're experts in helping homeowners just like you do away with unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging Sumner county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your home is not appreciating as much as other homes close by. This means you're paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal from Edge Appraisal Services is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in a declining area. This can be be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also unsuitable from a cash flow viewpoint. Edge Appraisal Services can provide you with efficient appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you prefer a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for efficiency? Edge Appraisal Services offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comparables. Or, if you're in a rush, we can 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? Edge Appraisal Services can help you with that. While typically requested by banks, you may wish to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
