We at Boyle and Drake, Inc understand the unique needs of a consumer looking for appraisal services. The appraisal process and reporting formats are familiar to our business clients like banks, attorneys, and accountants. But as a general consumer,you can expect extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to more fully understand what we do and how we document our findings.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Boyle and Drake, 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 selling price so your property will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a preferred money saver for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We're experts in helping consumers just like you do away with unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Lets say you live in a local area that is going down -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal report from Boyle and Drake, Inc is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just 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. This can be be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also troublesome from a cash flow point of view. An appraisal from Boyle and Drake, Inc can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you wish a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for precision? We can go out and check the subject and comparables 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.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have had done before. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may need to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
