Top Seven Reasons DFW Metroplex Homeowners Hire JLS Valuations, LLC
At JLS Valuations, LLC, we offer a range of appraisal services tailored to meet the diverse needs of homeowners in the DFW Metroplex. Here are the top seven reasons why homeowners like you choose us:
Pre-Listing Appraisals:
For Sale by Owner (FSBO) or Listing: If you're selling your home independently or with a real estate agent, our pre-listing appraisals provide an objective valuation to help you set a realistic asking price. This professional appraisal helps attract serious buyers by offering a concrete, independent third-party valuation of your home.
Challenge Dallas County's Property Assessment: If you believe your property is overvalued by the local tax assessor, resulting in higher taxes, we can help. Our expert appraisals can support your case in challenging and potentially reducing your property tax assessment.
Remove PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance): Once your mortgage balance drops below 80% of your home’s value, you might qualify to eliminate PMI, lowering your monthly payments. We can provide the necessary appraisal to support your request for PMI removal.
Reinstate Your Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC): If your HELOC has been frozen due to a declining market area, we can help. An accurate appraisal from us can provide the evidence needed to reinstate your HELOC, avoiding potential impacts on your credit score and cash flow.
Dividing Property Due to Divorce: In cases of divorce, property division can be complex. We provide professional appraisals to help ensure that the real estate assets are divided fairly and accurately according to the market value.
Determine True Market Value for Estate Settlements: If you need to settle an estate in Dallas County or TX, knowing the accurate market value of the property is crucial. Our appraisals provide a reliable estimate that helps facilitate a smooth estate settlement process.
Size of Improvements: Understanding the precise size of your home improvements is crucial for accurate property valuation. Whether you're unsure about the size of recent updates or need clarity on how a new addition affects your property's total gross living area, JLS Valuations, LLC can help.
Why Accurate Measurement Matters
Property Valuation: The size of improvements directly impacts the appraised value of your home. Accurate measurements ensure that your appraisal reflects the true value added by these improvements.
Tax Records Discrepancies: New additions or changes may not be updated immediately on tax records. Proper measurement ensures that discrepancies between tax records and actual property size are addressed.
ANSI Standards: The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) provides guidelines for measuring Gross Living Area (GLA). If you have a multi-story home or recent changes, ANSI standards might result in a different measurement than what's on your tax records.
