For Sale by Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Mainord Appraisal Firm LLC are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract many interested buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Challenging Rogers County's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a region that's declining or is not appreciating as much as other properties nearby. That 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 sooner you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. Getting an expert appraisal from Mainord Appraisal Firm LLC is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Mainord Appraisal Firm LLC, we're experts in helping folks just like you get rid of unwanted PMI insurance.

Recently got a freeze to your HELOC?

Your lender just may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be unsuitable from a cash flow angle, but it can be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Mainord Appraisal Firm LLC can provide you with efficient appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you like a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want an expert to double-check your appraisal for preciseness? We can go out and check the subject and comps in a field review. If you need it in a rush, 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.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had done before. Although most review work is requested by lenders for quality control, homeowners that have reason to believe they've been the victim of mortgage fraud are wise to get a second opinion.
