At EH Appraisals, we understand the unique needs of a homeowner seeking appraisal services.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at EH Appraisals, will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract interested buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're experienced in helping consumers just like you dismiss undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge Comal county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a local area that is going down. This only means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. 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 appraisal from EH Appraisals is your chief weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might 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. Not only can this be annoying from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An expert appraisal from EH Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just received a copy of your appraisal and you would like to have a seasoned professional double-check it for precision or do you desire a second opinion without the charge 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. If you're in a hurry, 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 report? EH Appraisals can help with that too. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may want to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
