For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Burrel Adkins Real Estate & Appraisals, will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value -- not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

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. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. Burrel Adkins Real Estate & Appraisals is qualified in helping people just like you rid yourselves of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a local area that is declining or not appreciating as much as other homes close by. This means you are most likely 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. A professional appraisal from Burrel Adkins Real Estate & Appraisals is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be inopportune from a cash flow point of view, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An appraisal from Burrel Adkins Real Estate & Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.
