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. The professional appraisers at Timberbrook Appraisal 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 interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract buyers. It's something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Timberbrook Appraisal LLC., we're experts 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 home overvalued if you live in an area that is going down. That only means you are probably paying more taxes than you should. The earlier 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. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from Timberbrook Appraisal LLC. is your chief weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also disadvantageous from a cash flow point of view. Timberbrook Appraisal LLC. can help you reinstate your HELOC.
