For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Appraise Dat Appraisal Services, will be objective. We'll 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 potential buyer. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price -- not just how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

An attractive way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're seasoned in helping customers just like you delete unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Jefferson county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in an area that is declining or not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours. This only means you are 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 report from Appraise Dat Appraisal Services is your number one weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is close to a declining area, your lender just may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be disadvantageous from a cash flow point of view, and destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Appraise Dat Appraisal Services can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need an expert to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you desire a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Appraise Dat Appraisal Services offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comps. If you need it in a rush, we'll provide 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? Appraise Dat Appraisal Services can help with that too. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may want to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
