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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Anna Tindell Appraisal Services are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It's something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, not just how much you think 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 a qualified appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated 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 eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are qualified in helping consumers just like you remove undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a local area that's declining. That means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from Anna Tindell Appraisal Services is your number one weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is near a declining area. This can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow viewpoint, and detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An expert appraisal from Anna Tindell Appraisal Services can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just been handed a copy of your appraisal and you would like to have a seasoned professional double-check it for precision or do you desire a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Anna Tindell Appraisal Services offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comps in question. If you're in a rush, we'll provide you with a desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? We can help with that too. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may wish to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
