Check out the top seven reasons why TX homeowners need Brunson Appraisal Services, LLC:
Do you own a house in or near Houston? Do you need help determining the value of your real estate?
We at Brunson Appraisal Services, LLC understand the particular needs of a customer looking for appraisal services. While our usual clients understand the appraisal process and standard reporting formats, you as a consumer will get extra customer service in the form of an explanation of the process and even special consumer-friendly reporting forms if the assignment allows for them. For Sale By Owner (FSBO)/Pre-Listing ServicesIt's very hard to be objective about your house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Brunson Appraisal Services, LLC, are objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, and not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value opinion than yours. Need to cancel PMI?A fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan 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 veterans in helping customers just like you rid themselves of unneeded PMI insurance. Challenging property tax assessmentsIf you live in a region that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. The faster 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 Brunson Appraisal Services, LLC is your number one weapon when challenging your property tax assessment. Recently got a freeze your HELOC?Your lender might just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be inopportune from a cash flow angle, and destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An efficient appraisal from Brunson Appraisal Services, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC. We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review ServicesHave you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you would like to have a seasoned appraiser double-check it for efficiency or do you need a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Brunson Appraisal Services, LLC can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. Or, if you need it ASAP, 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. Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal? Brunson Appraisal Services, LLC can help with that too. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may desire to utilize this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home. |
