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. The professional appraisers at Evelyn Donica will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value assessment than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

A fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Evelyn Donica is seasoned in helping clients just like you get rid of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that is declining. That only means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from Evelyn Donica is your perfect weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your property is in or near a declining area, your lender may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be inconvenient from a cash flow standpoint, and harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. A professional appraisal from Evelyn Donica can help you reinstate your HELOC.
