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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own 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. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value estimation than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular money saver for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is 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. At DC Appraisal Services, we're seasoned in helping clients just like you do away with unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your house not appreciating as much as other houses nearby. This only means you're going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. Getting an appraisal from DC Appraisal Services is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is in a declining area, your lender may just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be annoying from a cash flow angle, and harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. DC Appraisal Services can provide you with a professional appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you like a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for preciseness? We can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. If you're in a hurry, we'll 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? DC Appraisal Services can help with that too. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may want to utilize this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
