For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) / 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 Appraisal Services, 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 home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. Landmark Appraisal Services, Inc. is experienced in helping clients just like you rid yourselves of unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other properties nearby. That means you are most likely paying more taxes than you should. The sooner 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. An expert appraisal from Landmark Appraisal Services, Inc. is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also disadvantageous from a cash flow point of view. Landmark Appraisal Services, Inc. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you prefer a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for precision?

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