At RAB Real Estate Services, LLC., we understand the unique needs of a consumer looking for appraisal services. The appraisal process and reporting formats are relatively routine to our business clients like lenders, attorneys, and accountants. But as a consumer, you'll receive extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to better understand what we do and how we document our conclusions.

For Sale by Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at RAB Real Estate Services, LLC., will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers. It's something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value report than yours.

Challenge Lampasas County's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a local area that is going down. That means you are paying more taxes than you should. The earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal from RAB Real Estate Services, LLC. is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We're veterans in helping folks just like you rid themselves of unnecessary PMI insurance.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult from a cash flow point of view. RAB Real Estate Services, LLC. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you like a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire an expert to double-check your appraisal for precision? An appraiser from RAB Real Estate Services, LLC. can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. Or, if you're in a hurry, we can provide 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? We can help with that too. While usually requested by banks, you may want to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
