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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at David Levy Appraiser will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, and not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a fashionable 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 eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are veterans in helping clients just like you delete unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a local area that's declining. This only means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of things like this, the better. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from David Levy Appraiser is your best weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is close to a declining area. This can be be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also unsuitable from a cash flow viewpoint. An expert appraisal from David Levy Appraiser can help you reinstate your HELOC.
