For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Holmes Appraisal Experts, LLC will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price -- not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. 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 the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. At Holmes Appraisal Experts, LLC, we're qualified in helping consumers just like you do away with unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in an area that is going down. That only means you are probably paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. Getting an expert appraisal from Holmes Appraisal Experts, LLC is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is near a declining area, your lender may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inopportune from a cash flow standpoint. Holmes Appraisal Experts, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you like a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you need an expert to double-check your appraisal for preciseness? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comps. Or, if you need it ASAP, 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.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? Holmes Appraisal Experts, LLC can help you with that. While usually requested by banks, you may desire to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
