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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Brookmont Appraisal Company Inc. are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, and not just you saying how much 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 judgement than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to cut expenses 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 down below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We are veterans in helping clients just like you abolish undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a local area that is going down or not appreciating as much as other houses close by. This means you are most likely 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. An appraisal from Brookmont Appraisal Company Inc. is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is near a declining area, your lender might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also troublesome from a cash flow standpoint. Brookmont Appraisal Company Inc. can provide you with a professional appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you want a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Brookmont Appraisal Company Inc. offers field reviews where we 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.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? Brookmont Appraisal Company Inc. can help with that too. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may wish to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
