For Sale by Owner/Pre-Listing ServicesIt's very hard to be objective about your own house because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Brett E. Patron & Associates LLC, are objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete 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 know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value conclusion than yours.Challenge Tax AssessmentYour local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your home is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby. This only means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal from Brett E. Patron & Associates LLC is your number one weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.Need to cancel PMI?PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We're seasoned in helping customers just like you remove unneeded PMI insurance.Was your HELOC recently frozen?If your property is near a declining area, your lender might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow viewpoint. An appraisal from Brett E. Patron & Associates LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.Field and Desktop Appraisal Review ServicesHave you just accepted a copy of your appraisal and you'd wish to have a seasoned appraiser double-check it for accuracy or do you desire a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Brett E. Patron & Associates LLC 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 report? Brett E. Patron & Associates LLC can help you with that. Although most appraisal reviews are requested by lenders for quality control, homeowners suspecting a prior appraisal wasn't above board are prudent to invest in a second opinion. |
