We at Lamkin Appraisal Services, LLC. understand the particular needs of a customer after appraisal services.

But as a general consumer,you will receive extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to more clearly understand what we do and how we present our conclusions.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Lamkin Appraisal Services, LLC. are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract many interested buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value estimation than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is down 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. We are qualified in helping people just like you delete unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Tulsa county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in an area that's declining. That only means you're paying more taxes than you should. The faster you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An expert appraisal from Lamkin Appraisal Services, LLC. is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is in a declining area, your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be unsuitable from a cash flow standpoint, and damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Lamkin Appraisal Services, LLC. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you want a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Lamkin Appraisal Services, LLC. can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. Or, if you need it in a rush, we can provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal? We can help with that too. While usually requested by banks, you may desire to utilize this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
