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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at ATX Appraisals, are objective. We will 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 a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract buyers. It's something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price -- not just you saying how much your house is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value judgement than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

A popular way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI removed 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 property. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. ATX Appraisals is seasoned in helping consumers just like you do away with unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Williamson county's assessment of your property

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other properties close by -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you are going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal from ATX Appraisals is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in or near a declining area. This can this be inconvenient from a cash flow viewpoint, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. ATX Appraisals can provide you with an expert appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just gotten a copy of your appraisal and you would like to have a seasoned professional double-check it for precision or do you need a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? ATX Appraisals offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables. Or, if you're in a rush, 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? ATX Appraisals can help you with that. While typically requested by banks, you may desire to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
