At Dempsey Appraisal Services, LLC, we understand the individual needs of a customer in need of appraisal services.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Dempsey Appraisal Services, LLC, will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price -- not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. At Dempsey Appraisal Services, LLC, we're experienced in helping customers just like you dismiss unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that is declining. This only means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner 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 expert appraisal from Dempsey Appraisal Services, LLC is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be annoying from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Dempsey Appraisal Services, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need an expert to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you need a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. If you need it ASAP, we'll provide 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 report? We can help with that too. While typically requested by banks, you may want to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
