At J Snyder Appraisals, we understand the particular needs of a consumer looking for appraisal services.

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 J Snyder Appraisals, 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 home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just 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 a professional appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. J Snyder Appraisals is experienced in helping people just like you remove unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging Tarrant county's assessment of your property

Lets say you live in a region that's going down -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. 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. An appraisal from J Snyder Appraisals is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in or near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be difficult from a cash flow angle, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. J Snyder Appraisals can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you like a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for precision? An appraiser from J Snyder Appraisals can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. 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.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? J Snyder Appraisals can help you with that. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may wish to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
