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. Professional appraisers, like the ones at A D Appraisals Services, LLC, are objective. We'll 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 an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

A preferred way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". 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 eliminated from your loan. We're veterans in helping homeowners just like you abolish unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Lets say you live in an area that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you're going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. The quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal report from A D Appraisals Services, LLC is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your home is in or near a declining area, your lender may just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also annoying from a cash flow angle. A D Appraisals Services, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you wish a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you need a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for precision? We can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. Or, if you need it immediately, we can 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 report? A D Appraisals Services, LLC can help you with that. While typically requested by banks, you may desire to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
