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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. A professional appraiser is objective and will 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 house will attract interested buyers. It's something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price -- not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a fashionable money saver for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Kimberly DiRoberto is seasoned in helping people just like you do away with unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging Bucks county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your home not appreciating as much as other properties nearby. This 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 earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from Kimberly DiRoberto is your number one weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is close to a declining area. This can be be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inopportune from a cash flow angle. Kimberly DiRoberto can provide you with a professional appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you prefer a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire a professional to double-check your appraisal for efficiency? Kimberly DiRoberto offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comps in question. Or, if you're in a hurry, 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.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have had done before. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may wish to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
