Need help deciding the value of your house in or near Kyle, TX?
We at Appraisal Professionals understand the particular needs of a customer seeking appraisal services. Our regular business clients are used to the appraisal process and the customary documents we provide. As our client, we will provide you with extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to more clearly understand what we do and how we report the results of our analysis. For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing ServicesIt's very hard to be objective about your own house because you probably have an emotional attachment to 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 price to sell at so your house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value estimation than yours. Need to cancel PMI?PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are experts in helping consumers just like you do away with unwanted PMI insurance. Challenge property tax assessmentsLets say you live in an area that is going down -- 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 quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from Appraisal Professionals is your chief weapon. Was your HELOC recently frozen?Your lender might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be inopportune from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Appraisal Professionals can help you reinstate your HELOC. We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review ServicesHave you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you would wish to have an expert double-check it for accuracy or do you need a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Appraisal Professionals offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comps. If you need it in a rush, we'll 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? Appraisal Professionals can help with that too. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may want to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property. |
