At American Grid, LLC, we understand the unique needs of a consumer in need of appraisal services. Our usual business clients get the appraisal process and the customary "products" we deliver to them. But as a general consumer,you'll receive extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to understand what we do and how we present our conclusions.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because of your emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at American Grid, LLC 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 a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to cut expenses for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down 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 removed from your loan. American Grid, LLC is qualified in helping homeowners just like you abolish unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Lets say you live in a region that's going down -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This only means you're going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. 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. An appraisal from American Grid, LLC is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow angle, and unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. American Grid, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you'd like to have a seasoned appraiser double-check it for accuracy or do you desire a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? American Grid, LLC offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables. If you're in a rush, 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.

We can also provide you with a a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had in the past. While usually requested by banks, you may desire to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
