For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract many 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 how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value report than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. Nuquest is qualified in helping clients just like you rid themselves of unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that is going down. That only means you are probably 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 Nuquest is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is in or near a declining area, your lender might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be disadvantageous from a cash flow standpoint, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Nuquest can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just accepted a copy of your appraisal and you'd wish to have an expert double-check it for verity or do you need a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Nuquest offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comparables in question. If you need it ASAP, 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? Nuquest can help with that too. While usually requested by banks, you may wish to utilize this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
