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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value report than yours.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That means you're probably paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from Gold Coast Appraisal Group LLC is your perfect weapon.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for preciseness, or do you desire a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. Or, if you need it immediately, 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? Gold Coast Appraisal Group LLC can help with that too. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may want to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
