We at Real Estate Marketing understand the unique needs of a homeowner looking for appraisal services. Our business practices and reporting formats are relatively routine to our business clients like banks, attorneys, and accountants. Being a consumer that probably doesn't see an appraisal every day,we will give you extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to more clearly 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 home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Real Estate Marketing 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 price to sell at so your property will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to cut costs for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We are seasoned in helping customers just like you abolish unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging Harrison 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 to yours. That means you are most likely paying more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal report from Real Estate Marketing is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is in a declining area, your lender might 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 damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Real Estate Marketing can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just received a copy of your appraisal and you would wish to have a veteran appraiser double-check it for efficiency or do you need a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Real Estate Marketing offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comparables in question. If you're in a rush, we'll provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal? We can help with that too. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may want to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
