Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, 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. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract interested buyers. It's something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, and not just you saying how much your house is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

A preferred way to cut costs for homeowners is getting 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 canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At DTB Appraisals, LLC, we're experienced in helping folks just like you remove unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

If you live in an area that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier 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. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from DTB Appraisals, LLC is your best weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is close to a declining area, your lender just may decide 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 viewpoint, but it can be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. DTB Appraisals, LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.
