At Direct Value Appraisal, LLC, we understand the unique needs of a consumer in need of appraisal services.

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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Direct Value Appraisal, LLC 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 a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers. It's something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's market value, not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Challenge Tax Assessment

If you live in a local area that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other properties nearby, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. The earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal report from Direct Value Appraisal, LLC is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a popular way to cut expenses for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We're experienced in helping consumers just like you remove unnecessary PMI insurance.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is close to a declining area. Not only can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Direct Value Appraisal, LLC can provide you with an expert appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you prefer a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for preciseness? Direct Value Appraisal, LLC offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comparables in question. 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? We can help with that too. While usually requested by banks, you may wish to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
