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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Hendy Professional Services, Inc, are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. 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. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value estimation than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive way to cut expenses for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're veterans in helping clients just like you dismiss unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Lets say you live in a region that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That means you are most likely paying more taxes than you should. The sooner 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. Getting an appraisal report from Hendy Professional Services, Inc is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in or near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be annoying from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Hendy Professional Services, Inc can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for efficiency, or do you desire 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 comparables in a field review. If you're in a rush, we'll 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? Hendy Professional Services, Inc can help you with that. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may wish to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
