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 Brock Broussard, will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It's something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value -- not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value report than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a preferred money saver for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is down below 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 experts in helping people just like you rid yourselves of unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

If you live in a local area that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other properties close by, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you're probably paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better. An appraisal from Brock Broussard is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in a declining area. This can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow angle, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Brock Broussard can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for precision, or do you want a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. Or, if you need it immediately, we can provide 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 you with that Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may need to utilize this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
