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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at DKMP Appraisal Services 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 very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract interested buyers. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to cut expenses for homeowners. 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 eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At DKMP Appraisal Services, we're experienced in helping people just like you rid themselves of unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging Leon county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a local area that is declining or is not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours. This means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. An appraisal from DKMP Appraisal Services is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in or near a declining area. This can this be inopportune from a cash flow angle, and detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. A professional appraisal from DKMP Appraisal Services can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been handed a copy of your appraisal and you'd prefer to have a veteran appraiser double-check it for precision or do you want a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comps. 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.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have in your possession. While typically requested by banks, you may want to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
