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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at H.M. Hoffman & Company will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract interested buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Challenge Montgomery county's assessment of your property

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other houses close by -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you're most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. Getting an appraisal from H.M. Hoffman & Company is your best weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you wish a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for precision? H.M. Hoffman & Company offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comps in question. Or, if you're in a rush, we can 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? H.M. Hoffman & Company can help with that too. While typically requested by banks, you may desire to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
