For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value judgement than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

An attractive way to cut costs 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 amount is less than 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. JC Reynolds Appraisals, Inc. is experienced in helping consumers just like you rid yourselves of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a local area that's declining or is not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours. That only means you are paying more taxes than you should. The faster you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from JC Reynolds Appraisals, Inc. is your number one weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender may just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inopportune from a cash flow viewpoint. JC Reynolds Appraisals, Inc. can provide you with efficient appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you prefer a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for efficiency?

Or, if you're in a rush, we can provide you with a desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.
