We at R.M. Rose understand the particular needs of a homeowner after appraisal services. The appraisal process and reporting formats are familiar to our business clients like banks, lawyers, and accountants. But as a consumer,we will provide you with extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to understand what we do and how we document our findings.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at R.M. Rose will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract interested buyers. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, not just you saying how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value assessment than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

A preferred money saver 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". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We're veterans in helping clients just like you rid yourselves of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Montgomery county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours. This means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from R.M. Rose is your strongest weapon.

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 this be unsuitable from a cash flow viewpoint, and detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. R.M. Rose can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for preciseness, or do you want a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from R.M. Rose can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. If you need it immediately, 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.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal? R.M. Rose can help with that too. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may need to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
