For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Robert Jones Appraisal Practice 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 very important as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value -- not just you saying how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable money saver for homeowners is to get the PMI removed 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 your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. Robert Jones Appraisal Practice is experts in helping folks just like you get rid of unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

If you live in a region that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other homes close by, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you're paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of things like this, the better. Getting an expert appraisal from Robert Jones Appraisal Practice is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is in a declining area, your lender may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also annoying from a cash flow point of view. Robert Jones Appraisal Practice can provide you with a professional appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you would wish to have a seasoned professional double-check it for precision or do you need a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Robert Jones Appraisal Practice offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comparables. If you need it immediately, we'll provide you with a 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? Robert Jones Appraisal Practice can help you with that. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may need to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
