Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because of your emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at TexasBank 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 price to sell at so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value -- not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled 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 house. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. At TexasBank, we're qualified in helping clients just like you rid yourselves of unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

If you live in a local area that is declining or not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This only means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal from TexasBank is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is close to a declining area, your lender just may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow point of view, and bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. TexasBank can help you reinstate your HELOC.
