At Reliant Appraisals, we understand the individual needs of a homeowner in need of appraisal services.

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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Reliant Appraisals will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract interested buyers. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's market value, not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Challenge Bexar County's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that's going down. This means you're going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Reliant Appraisals is your chief weapon.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to cut expenses for homeowners. 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 your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. Reliant Appraisals is seasoned in helping folks just like you dismiss unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in or near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be troublesome from a cash flow angle, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Reliant Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a professional to double-check your appraisal for preciseness, or do you need a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. Or, if you're in a rush, 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? We can assist you. While usually requested by banks, you may desire to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
