Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. A professional appraiser is objective and 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 interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It gives you 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 your home is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a popular way to cut expenses for homeowners. 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 removed from your loan. AppraisalsByDana, LLC. is experienced in helping consumers just like you rid yourselves of unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

If you live in an area that is declining or is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you are paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner 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 report from AppraisalsByDana, LLC. is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in a declining area. This can this be disadvantageous from a cash flow standpoint, and destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. A professional appraisal from AppraisalsByDana, LLC. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you would prefer to have an expert double-check it for accuracy or do you want a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from AppraisalsByDana, LLC. can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. If you need it ASAP, we'll provide 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 report you may have had in the past. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may desire to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
