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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at David Peters are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

A preferred way to cut expenses 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 down below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. At David Peters, we're veterans in helping homeowners just like you remove unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that is going down. That 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. An expert appraisal from David Peters is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may just 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 this be unsuitable from a cash flow angle, and bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. David Peters can provide you with efficient appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.
