For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Lynn M Brown LLC will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers. It gives you 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. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

A popular way to save money for homeowners is to get 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 down below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're seasoned in helping folks just like you rid yourselves of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Outagamie county's assessment of your property

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you are going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from Lynn M Brown LLC is your #1 weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in a declining area. This can be be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult from a cash flow viewpoint. Lynn M Brown LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a professional to double-check your appraisal for efficiency, or do you desire a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Lynn M Brown LLC offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comparables. 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.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had done before. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may want to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
