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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Donovon Appraisal will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A fashionable money saver for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated 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 amount is less than 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We are experts in helping consumers just like you rid yourselves of undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

If you live in a local area that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other homes close by, 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 quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. An expert appraisal from Donovon Appraisal is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in or near a declining area -- 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 inopportune from a cash flow point of view. Donovon Appraisal can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just gotten a copy of your appraisal and you would like to have a professional double-check it for verity or do you want a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Donovon Appraisal can go out and check the subject and comps in a field review. Or, if you're in a rush, we can 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? Donovon Appraisal can help with that too. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may desire to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
