At Desert Dog Appraisal LLC, we understand the special needs of a customer seeking appraisal services. The appraisal process and reporting formats are relatively routine to our business clients like banks, attorneys, and CPAs. Being a regular consumer that most likely doesn't see an appraisal every day,you'll receive extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to better understand what we do and how we report our findings.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

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 home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It's something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to save money 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 below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We're qualified in helping consumers just like you do away with unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging Clark county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your home is not appreciating as much as other houses close by. This means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. 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. A professional appraisal from Desert Dog Appraisal LLC is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is near a declining area, your lender might just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be troublesome from a cash flow angle, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Desert Dog Appraisal LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for efficiency, or do you need a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comps in question. If you're in a hurry, 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.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have had in the past. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may want to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
