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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Ashe Appraisal, LLC, 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 selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value -- not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Challenging Collin County's assessment of your property

Let's say you live in a local area that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you're going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of things like this, the better. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from Ashe Appraisal, LLC is your strongest weapon.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to cut expenses for homeowners is getting the PMI removed 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 property. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We're veterans in helping customers just like you remove unnecessary PMI insurance.

Recently got a freeze to your HELOC?

Your lender may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be unsuitable from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Ashe Appraisal, LLC can provide you with a professional appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you prefer a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for verity? Ashe Appraisal, LLC offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables. Or, if you need it immediately, we can 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? Ashe Appraisal, LLC can help you with that. While typically requested by banks, you may wish to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
