Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Finley Appraisals, LLC are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial 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 home's price -- not just 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 conclusion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. 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. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We are seasoned in helping people just like you do away with unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging Tarrant county's assessment of your property

Lets say you live in a local area that is going down -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Finley Appraisals, LLC is your strongest weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is close to a declining area, your lender might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be annoying from a cash flow point of view, but it can be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Finley Appraisals, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a professional to double-check your appraisal for accuracy, or do you desire a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. Or, if you need it 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? Finley Appraisals, LLC can help you with that. While typically requested by banks, you may need to utilize this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
