For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Hendley Consulting Services, LLC 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 selling price so your property will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value -- not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A preferred way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your property, 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. We are seasoned in helping folks just like you abolish unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Lets say you live in an area that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. A professional appraisal from Hendley Consulting Services, LLC is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your property is in a declining area, your lender might just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inconvenient from a cash flow angle. Hendley Consulting Services, LLC can provide you with efficient appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.
