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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at TrueMark Appraisal, 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 valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, not just you saying how much your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value assessment than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

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 amount is less than 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are experienced in helping people just like you do away with unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your home not appreciating as much as other homes nearby. That means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of things like this, the better. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from TrueMark Appraisal, LLC is your best weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your home is near a declining area, your lender might just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be unsuitable from a cash flow point of view, and unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. TrueMark Appraisal, LLC can provide you with an expert appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for preciseness, or do you need a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. Or, if you need it 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? TrueMark Appraisal, LLC can help with that too. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may want to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
