Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at TL Strickland Inc. 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 price to sell at so your property will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A preferred way to cut expenses for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At TL Strickland Inc., we're experts in helping customers just like you remove unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your house not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours. This only means you are going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. 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 from TL Strickland Inc. is your strongest weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in or 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 detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. TL Strickland Inc. can provide you with a professional appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.
