For Sale by Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at LANDMARK PROPERTIES will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's market value, not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in an area that is declining. This means you are going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. The faster you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. A professional appraisal from LANDMARK PROPERTIES is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is an attractive money saver for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are veterans in helping people just like you get rid of unwanted PMI insurance.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inconvenient from a cash flow point of view. LANDMARK PROPERTIES can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you prefer a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you need a professional to double-check your appraisal for precision? We can go out and check the subject and comps in a field review. Or, if you need it ASAP, 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? We can help with that too. Although most review work is commissioned by lenders, homeowners suspecting they've been the victim of mortgage fraud are wise to invest in a second opinion.
