At Darrel Clark & Associates, Inc., we understand the unique needs of a homeowner looking for appraisal services. Our business practices and reporting formats are familiar to our business clients like lenders, lawyers, and CPAs. But as a general consumer,you will receive extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to more clearly understand what we do and how we present our conclusions.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Darrel Clark & Associates, Inc. will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, and not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a preferred money saver for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. At Darrel Clark & Associates, Inc., we're veterans in helping clients just like you abolish unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge Utah county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a local area that's going down. This only means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner 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. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from Darrel Clark & Associates, Inc. is your perfect weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in or near a declining area. Not only can this be inopportune from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Darrel Clark & Associates, Inc. can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just gotten a copy of your appraisal and you would wish to have a seasoned professional double-check it for accuracy or do you desire a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Darrel Clark & Associates, Inc. offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comps. Or, if you need it immediately, we can provide 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? Darrel Clark & Associates, Inc. can help you with that. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may need to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
