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. Our professional appraisers at Appraisal Professionals 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 interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable 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 house. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We are experienced in helping people just like you abolish unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Hays county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in an area that is going down. That only means you're most likely 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. An appraisal report from Appraisal Professionals is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is close to a declining area, your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be annoying from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An expert appraisal from Appraisal Professionals can help you reinstate your HELOC.
