For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) / Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at DW Appraisals, LLC are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract interested buyers. It's something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, and not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

A popular way to cut expenses for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At DW Appraisals, LLC, we're qualified in helping homeowners just like you rid yourselves of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Middlesex county's assessment of your property

If you live in a region that is going down or not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you're most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The quicker you take care of things 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 DW Appraisals, LLC is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender may just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be difficult from a cash flow angle, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. DW Appraisals, LLC can provide you with a professional appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.
