For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Doug Perrin, PC, will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It gives you something tangible 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 house is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to cut expenses for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down 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. We are experts in helping people just like you dismiss undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say you live in a region that is going down -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you're paying more taxes than you should. 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 appraisal report from Doug Perrin, PC is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your home is in a declining area, your lender may just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also unsuitable from a cash flow standpoint. Doug Perrin, PC can provide you with efficient appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you wish a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for efficiency? We can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. If you're in a hurry, we'll 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? Doug Perrin, PC can help with that too. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may need to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
