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

It's very hard to be objective about your home because of your emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Oak Appraisal Group LLC will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, and not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a popular money saver for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Oak Appraisal Group LLC, we're experts in helping consumers just like you rid yourselves of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Travis County's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your home is not appreciating as much as other homes close by. This means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. An expert appraisal from Oak Appraisal Group LLC is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in a declining area. This can this be unsuitable from a cash flow angle, and damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Oak Appraisal Group LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.
