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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price -- not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A popular money saver for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is 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. We're veterans in helping homeowners just like you do away with unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your home is not appreciating as much as other homes close by. That only means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Mark Storch Enterprises, Inc is your best weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in or near a declining area. Not only can this be inconvenient 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. Mark Storch Enterprises, Inc can provide you with a professional appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just received a copy of your appraisal and you would prefer to have a professional double-check it for preciseness or do you desire a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Mark Storch Enterprises, Inc can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. If you need it immediately, 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? Mark Storch Enterprises, Inc can help you with that. While typically requested by banks, you may want to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
