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

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Gold Coast Appraisal Group 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 very important as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, not just how much you think your house is worth. Interested 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 assessment than yours.

Challenge a property tax assessment

If you live in an area that is declining or not appreciating as much as other houses close by, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you are most likely paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. Getting an expert appraisal from Gold Coast Appraisal Group LLC is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.
