For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Deborah Pool Appraisal, are objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

A popular way to cut expenses for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. Deborah Pool Appraisal is veterans in helping homeowners just like you abolish unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Jackson county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your house not appreciating as much as other homes close by. This means you're paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier 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. A professional appraisal from Deborah Pool Appraisal is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your house is in or near a declining area, your lender might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be inopportune from a cash flow angle, and bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Deborah Pool Appraisal can provide you with an expert appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just accepted a copy of your appraisal and you'd wish to have a veteran appraiser double-check it for efficiency or do you desire a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Deborah Pool Appraisal can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. Or, if you need it ASAP, we can 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 a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have had done before. While typically requested by banks, you may need to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
