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. Our professional appraisers at David Hesidenz Appraisals are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract buyers. The appraisal is 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 you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable money saver for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We're experts in helping homeowners just like you dismiss unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging Butler county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a local area that's going down or is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby. That means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of a matter like this, the better. Getting an appraisal report from David Hesidenz Appraisals is your number one weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

David Hesidenz Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.
