Pre-listing Services/For Sale by Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Mabry Residential Services (770) 656-5874, will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It's something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value report than yours.

Challenge property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your home not appreciating as much as other properties close by. That means you are paying more taxes than you should. The faster 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. Getting an appraisal from Mabry Residential Services (770) 656-5874 is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Need to cancel PMI?

An attractive way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're experts in helping people just like you remove undesirable PMI insurance.

Recently got a freeze to your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in or near a declining area. This can be unsuitable 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. Mabry Residential Services (770) 656-5874 can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you like a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you need a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for verity? We can go out and check the subject and comps in a field review. If you need it ASAP, we'll 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? Mabry Residential Services (770) 656-5874 can help you with that. While usually requested by banks, you may desire to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
