For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Gilbert S Mordoh & Inc., will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It's something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A fashionable way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated 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 is below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. At Gilbert S Mordoh & Inc., we're experts in helping folks just like you abolish unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a region that's declining. That means you're probably 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. An appraisal report from Gilbert S Mordoh & Inc. is your number one weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is in or near a declining area, your lender might just decide 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 viewpoint, and harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An appraisal from Gilbert S Mordoh & Inc. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you like a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want an expert to double-check your appraisal for preciseness?
