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. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Market Appraisal, Inc, will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers. It's something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel 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 house. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. At Market Appraisal, Inc, we're experienced in helping people just like you dismiss undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a region that's declining. This means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An expert appraisal from Market Appraisal, Inc is your best weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in or near a declining area. This can this be inconvenient from a cash flow point of view, and detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Market Appraisal, Inc can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just received a copy of your appraisal and you'd like to have an expert double-check it for verity or do you want a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Market Appraisal, Inc offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comparables in question. Or, if you're in a rush, we can 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 you with a a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had done before. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may want to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
