For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Data Drive Appraisals, Inc., are objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested 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 conclusion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a popular way to cut costs for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Data Drive Appraisals, Inc., we're qualified in helping customers just like you rid yourselves of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging Orange county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in an area that's going down or not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours. That means you're paying 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. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Data Drive Appraisals, Inc. is your #1 weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in or near a declining area. Not only can this be inopportune from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Data Drive Appraisals, Inc. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just received a copy of your appraisal and you would wish to have a seasoned appraiser double-check it for preciseness or do you desire a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. Or, if you need it immediately, 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? Data Drive Appraisals, Inc. can help with that too. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may desire to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
