For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. A professional appraiser is objective and 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 property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It's something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to cut expenses for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're seasoned in helping clients just like you rid themselves of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Davis county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a region that's declining. This only means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. An expert appraisal from DataMaster is your number one weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your property is in a declining area, your lender may just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be unsuitable from a cash flow angle, but it can be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. DataMaster can provide you with an expert appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.
