For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It's something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just you saying how much your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. 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. Marden L.L.C. Appraisals is seasoned in helping clients just like you do away with unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Houston county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a local area that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other properties nearby. That means you are 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 a matter like this, the better off you'll be. An appraisal from Marden L.L.C. Appraisals is your number one weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be inconvenient from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Marden L.L.C. Appraisals can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a professional to double-check your appraisal for preciseness, or do you desire a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comparables. Or, if you're in a hurry, we can provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have had in the past. While typically requested by banks, you may desire to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
