We at Glenn Bright understand the special needs of a consumer looking for appraisal services. Our business practices and reporting formats are relatively routine to our business clients like banks, lawyers, and CPAs. As our client, you can expect extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to more fully understand what we do and how we report the results of our analysis.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale by Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Glenn Bright, will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value report than yours.

Challenging Sunflower County's assessment of your property

Let's say you live in a local area that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That means you're probably paying more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal from Glenn Bright is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable 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 amount is below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Glenn Bright, we're qualified in helping folks just like you dismiss unnecessary PMI insurance.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in a declining area. This can be disadvantageous from a cash flow viewpoint, and bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Glenn Bright can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.

We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for efficiency, or do you need a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. If you need it 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? We can help with that too. While typically requested by banks, you may want to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
