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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Diewald Appraisal Group are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract interested buyers. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, and not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. At Diewald Appraisal Group, we're veterans in helping clients just like you delete unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging Randolph county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a region that is going down or not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours. That means you are most likely paying more taxes than you should. The faster 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 Diewald Appraisal Group is your number one weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in 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 negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Diewald Appraisal Group can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just received a copy of your appraisal and you'd wish to have a veteran appraiser double-check it for preciseness or do you desire a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. If you're in a rush, 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.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? We can help you with that Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may want to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
