At Marvel Appraisal Services, Inc, we understand the particular needs of a homeowner in need of appraisal services.

But as a general consumer,you will receive extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to better understand what we do and how we document the results of our analysis.

For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Marvel Appraisal Services, Inc will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. 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's something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, and not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value estimation than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

An attractive way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your home, 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're qualified in helping folks just like you get rid of unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that is declining or is not appreciating as much as other homes nearby. That means you are most likely paying 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. An appraisal report from Marvel Appraisal Services, Inc is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property 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 point of view, but it can be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Marvel Appraisal Services, Inc can provide you with an expert appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.
