We at Brennan & Associates Appraisal Services understand the special needs of a consumer seeking appraisal services. The appraisal process and reporting formats are relatively routine to our business clients like banks, lawyers, and CPAs. Being a regular homeowner that most likely doesn't look at appraisals on a regular basis,we will give you extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to more fully understand what we do and how we report our findings.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Brennan & Associates Appraisal Services 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 house will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just you saying 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 a professional appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a popular money saver for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down 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 eliminated from your loan. We're seasoned in helping folks just like you rid themselves of unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Lets say you live in an area that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you're 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. Getting a professional appraisal from Brennan & Associates Appraisal Services is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be difficult from a cash flow point of view, and damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Brennan & Associates Appraisal Services can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for precision, or do you desire a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Brennan & Associates Appraisal Services can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. Or, if you're in a hurry, we can 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 a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have had in the past. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may want to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
