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. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It gives you 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. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to save money 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 is less than 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We are qualified in helping consumers just like you rid themselves of unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in an area that is going down. That means you are most likely paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. An appraisal from Gene Jordan Appraisal Services is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is close to a declining area. This can this be unsuitable from a cash flow angle, and harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An efficient appraisal from Gene Jordan Appraisal Services can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just accepted a copy of your appraisal and you'd prefer to have a professional double-check it for verity or do you desire a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Gene Jordan Appraisal Services offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comps. 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.

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