Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Diehl Appraisal Service, Inc., are 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 buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just you saying how much your house is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to cut costs for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're experts in helping homeowners just like you do away with unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Lets say you live in a region that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. Getting a professional appraisal from Diehl Appraisal Service, Inc. is your number one weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in or near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be inconvenient from a cash flow point of view, but it can be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. A professional appraisal from Diehl Appraisal Service, Inc. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for precision, or do you need a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comps. If you're in a rush, we'll provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

We can also provide you with a a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have in your possession. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may want to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
