At Drive Appraisal, LLC, we understand the particular needs of a homeowner after appraisal services.

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

It's very hard to be objective about your home because of your emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Drive Appraisal, LLC will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract many interested buyers. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to save money for homeowners. 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, which will make your monthly payments go down. Drive Appraisal, LLC is seasoned in helping clients just like you do away with unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging McLean county's assessment of your property

Lets say you live in a local area that's going down -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. The sooner you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Drive Appraisal, LLC is your best weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your house is in 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 inopportune from a cash flow standpoint, and destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Drive Appraisal, LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you wish a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for efficiency? An appraiser from Drive Appraisal, LLC can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. If you need it ASAP, 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.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? Drive Appraisal, LLC can help you with that. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may need to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
