For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at DW Appraisals, 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 very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, and not just you saying how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable money saver for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. At DW Appraisals, LLC, we're qualified in helping consumers just like you get rid of undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Lets say you live in a region that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The quicker 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. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from DW Appraisals, LLC is your best weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is near a declining area, your lender just might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be inconvenient from a cash flow point of view, 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 help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you prefer a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for precision? We can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. Or, if you're in a rush, we can 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? DW Appraisals, LLC can help you with that. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may wish to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
