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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Nordquist Appraisal LLC, 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 house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. 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, which will make your monthly payments go down. Nordquist Appraisal LLC is seasoned in helping clients just like you abolish unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge Allegheny county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in an area that's declining. This only means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. A professional appraisal from Nordquist Appraisal LLC is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is close to a declining area. This can this be difficult and inconvenient 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. Nordquist Appraisal LLC can provide you with a professional appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just received a copy of your appraisal and you would wish to have a seasoned expert double-check it for verity or do you want a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Nordquist Appraisal LLC offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comparables. Or, if you need it immediately, we can provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal? We can help with that too. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may wish to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
