For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Nord Appraisal Services LLC, will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. At Nord Appraisal Services LLC, we're qualified in helping clients just like you do away with unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say you live in a local area that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. The faster you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. A professional appraisal from Nord Appraisal Services LLC is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in or near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be troublesome from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Nord Appraisal Services LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you would wish to have a professional 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? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comps. Or, if you're in a rush, 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 report? Nord Appraisal Services LLC can help with that too. While usually requested by banks, you may want to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
