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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Brazos Valley Appraisals, are objective. We'll 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 home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It's something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value -- not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value judgement than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI removed 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 property, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Brazos Valley Appraisals is qualified in helping clients just like you rid yourselves of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Brazos county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your home is not appreciating as much as other homes close by. This means you are going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Brazos Valley Appraisals is your perfect weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in or near a declining area. This can be be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inconvenient from a cash flow angle. Brazos Valley Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Or, if you need it immediately, we can provide you with a desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.
