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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. A professional appraiser is objective and will 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 house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value -- not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to cut expenses for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are experienced in helping folks just like you abolish unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging Dallas county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a region that's declining. This means you are going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of things like this, the better. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from Pegasus Appraisals LLC is your perfect weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area. This can be be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also disadvantageous from a cash flow angle. An expert appraisal from Pegasus Appraisals LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a professional to double-check your appraisal for efficiency, or do you want a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comparables. If you're in a rush, 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? Pegasus Appraisals LLC can help with that too. While typically requested by banks, you may desire to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
