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

It'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. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home 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. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. Brookwood Appraisal Consultants, LLC is experienced in helping people just like you get rid of undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say you live in a local area that's going down -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you are paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of things like this, the better. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from Brookwood Appraisal Consultants, LLC is your strongest weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in a declining area. This can be be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inopportune from a cash flow standpoint. Brookwood Appraisal Consultants, LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.
