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

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Dollars Express Appraisal, will be objective. We 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 interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It's something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a fashionable money saver for homeowners. 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. We are experts in helping homeowners just like you get rid of undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

If you live in a region that is declining or is not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you're paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of things like this, the better. Getting an expert appraisal from Dollars Express Appraisal is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender might just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be troublesome from a cash flow point of view, but it can be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Dollars Express Appraisal can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just gotten a copy of your appraisal and you'd wish to have a veteran appraiser double-check it for verity or do you desire a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Dollars Express Appraisal can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. 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? Dollars Express Appraisal can help you with that. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may want to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
