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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Donofrio Appraisal Associates, Inc., will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It's something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive way to cut expenses for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're qualified in helping people just like you rid yourselves of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Lets say you live in a local area that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you are probably paying more taxes than you should. The sooner you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal report from Donofrio Appraisal Associates, Inc. is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in or near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be inopportune from a cash flow standpoint, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An expert appraisal from Donofrio Appraisal Associates, Inc. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need an expert to double-check your appraisal for preciseness, or do you want a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comparables in question. Or, if you need it ASAP, 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.

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