We at Allred Appraisals, LLC. understand the special needs of a consumer in need of appraisal services.

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

It's very hard to be objective about your house because of your emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Allred Appraisals, LLC. will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value -- not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Let's say your home is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you're probably paying more taxes than you should. The quicker 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. An appraisal report from Allred Appraisals, LLC. is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is an attractive money saver for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're veterans in helping consumers just like you delete unwanted PMI insurance.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be difficult from a cash flow viewpoint, and destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An expert appraisal from Allred Appraisals, LLC. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you wish a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for precision? Allred Appraisals, LLC. offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comps. If you need it immediately, we'll 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? We can help with that too. While usually requested by banks, you may need to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
