For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Jim Burrows Appraisal, will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price -- not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. Jim Burrows Appraisal is experienced in helping clients just like you remove unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging Washita county's assessment of your property

Lets say you live in an area that's going down -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from Jim Burrows Appraisal is your strongest weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender might just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be inopportune from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An appraisal from Jim Burrows Appraisal can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for precision, or do you need a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Jim Burrows Appraisal can go out and check the subject and comps in a field review. If you need it ASAP, 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? Jim Burrows Appraisal can help you with that. While usually requested by banks, you may need to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
