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

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 Omni Realty Advisors, Inc., are objective. We 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 house will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, not just you saying 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 an expert appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a popular way to cut expenses for homeowners. 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. Omni Realty Advisors, Inc. is experienced in helping people just like you abolish undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenging Prince Georges county's assessment of your property

If you live in a region that is declining or not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you're most likely paying 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. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from Omni Realty Advisors, Inc. is your #1 weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is close to a declining area, your lender might just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inopportune from a cash flow standpoint. Omni Realty Advisors, Inc. can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you prefer a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire an expert to double-check your appraisal for precision? Omni Realty Advisors, Inc. offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comps. If you're in a hurry, 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.

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