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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Alamo Appraisal Group 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 selling price so your property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It gives you something concrete to show your 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. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. Alamo Appraisal Group is seasoned in helping clients just like you do away with unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in an area that is going down. This means you're most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better. An expert appraisal from Alamo Appraisal Group is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is close to a declining area, your lender might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow standpoint, and unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An appraisal from Alamo Appraisal Group can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for accuracy, or do you want a second opinion without the added 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 immediately, we can provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

We can also provide you with a a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had done before. While usually requested by banks, you may want to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
