Fee Schedule:
Our appraisal fees depend on various different things. Some of the factors could include the size of the dwelling, use of the property i.e., Vacation, hunting/fishing camp and/or commercial usage on the property etc. Quoting a fee without any information regarding the property would not only be irresponsible but would be a disservice to the customer.

We would be glad to discuss the appraisal process more with you and quote you a fee after we acquire more information on the property in question. We can be contacted via the numbers and address below. All information will be held in strict confidence.

WARNING!

HVCC & YOU!

On May 1, 2009 the HVCC was initiated throughout the Country on every mortgage transaction that involves an appraisal that is sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This involves all conventional loans which prior to the present meltdown was approximately 70% of all lending. With the banking system crippled, conventional loans seized up and nearly came to a halt. Presently, the conventional mortgage market is still trying to get back on its feet albeit very slowly and cautiously. Then there is the HVCC.

The HVCC came about due to pressure put on an appraisal management company called eAppraiseIT by a large mortgage lender Washington Mutual in the State of New York. The Attorney General of New York created the HVCC. To stay out of litigation (even though not directly involved), the appellant in the case (The State of New York) arranged to have Fannie Mae (FNMA) sign an agreement that all loans placed through FNMA & Freddie Mac would have to adhere to this new HVCC.

“We knew this was causing extreme hardship to the industry, but we didn’t expect to get thousands of horror stories from would-be homebuyers whose dreams have been dashed by this well-intended, but misguided policy. Every day thousands of people are getting the rug yanked out from under them in their quest to become homeowners because of HVCC. You only need to go to our petition website to read the stories for yourself,” said Kearns.
