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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at J. W. Enterprises are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to cut costs for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is below 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. J. W. Enterprises is experienced in helping homeowners just like you abolish unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Lamar county's assessment of your property

If you live in an area that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. An expert appraisal from J. W. Enterprises is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is near a declining area. This can this be troublesome from a cash flow point of view, and unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. A professional appraisal from J. W. Enterprises can help you reinstate your HELOC.
