At DMP Appraisal Services, Inc., we understand the unique needs of a consumer in need of appraisal services.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at DMP Appraisal Services, Inc. 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 interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- not just how much your home is worth. Potential 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 assessment than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

A popular way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". 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, which will make your monthly payments go down. DMP Appraisal Services, Inc. is qualified in helping customers just like you rid yourselves of undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other homes close by -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you are paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The faster you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal from DMP Appraisal Services, Inc. is your number one weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area. This can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow viewpoint, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. DMP Appraisal Services, Inc. can provide you with an expert appraisal that will help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a professional to double-check your appraisal for accuracy, or do you need a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? DMP Appraisal Services, Inc. offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comps in question. If you're in a rush, we'll provide you with a desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal? We can help you with that Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may wish to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
