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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because of your emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Desert Valley Appraisal Services, Inc. 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 crucial negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract interested buyers. It's something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, not just you saying how much your house is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular money saver for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're experienced in helping people just like you rid yourselves of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

If you live in an area that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of things like this, the better. Getting an appraisal from Desert Valley Appraisal Services, Inc. is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

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