For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract interested buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value judgement than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're qualified in helping people just like you rid themselves of unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your home not appreciating as much as other properties nearby. This means you're most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from Bob Hendrickson Appraisals is your best weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be difficult from a cash flow angle, and harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Bob Hendrickson Appraisals can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.

We Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you would like to have an expert double-check it for accuracy or do you desire a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comps in question. If you're in a hurry, we'll 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 usually requested by banks, you may want to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
