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

It's very hard to be objective about your home because of your emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Henderson Appraisal Service are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract many interested buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

A preferred way to cut costs for homeowners is getting 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 amount is down 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, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are experts in helping folks just like you get rid of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you are probably paying more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting a professional appraisal from Henderson Appraisal Service is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender may just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be inopportune from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Henderson Appraisal Service can provide you with an expert appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for preciseness, or do you want a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comps in question. Or, if you're in a hurry, we can provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? We can help you with that While typically requested by banks, you may need to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
