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. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Roberson Realty Consultants, will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to cut costs for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your home, 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. At Roberson Realty Consultants, we're seasoned in helping folks just like you remove unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Williamson county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that's going down or is not appreciating as much as other properties close by. This only means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. An appraisal report from Roberson Realty Consultants is your #1 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 just may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is near a declining area. This can this be annoying from a cash flow point of view, and destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Roberson Realty Consultants can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been handed a copy of your appraisal and you would prefer to have an expert double-check it for precision or do you need a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal?

If you need it ASAP, 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.

We can also provide you with a a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had done before. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may desire to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
