Although we have been familiar with the problem of inflated appraisals for some time, the trend seems to be growing worse by the day. More and more clients who call us have been the victims of over-inflated appraisals. When the illegal appraisal is discovered, it is usually too late by then to hold anyone accountable, especially if the homeowner is now in foreclosure. Saving the home is the top priority – anything else comes after that.

Why do appraisers inflate appraisals? The main reason is money: the appraiser gives the loan officer whatever value is needed for a loan, so the loan officer will use the appraiser again and again, inflating the value of numerous properties. But when the homeowners attempt to refinance, if they use a different mortgage company, the legitimate appraiser will value the property at its actual (not inflated) value. This may cause a significant decrease in value, sometimes to the point where a client owes more on the mortgage than what the property is worth. Obviously, this can cause significant problems. {continued}

If you are currently in foreclosure, then you must take action now to resolve the situation. Depending on your particular situation, you may be able to receive mortgage default assistance, either from your lender or from a professional mortgage default assistance company. However, you should first ask yourself the question of what it is that you are trying to accomplish. Can you afford the mortgage payment? Is it in your best interest to keep the home? If so, then start from there. Or would you be better off trying to sell the home?

Let’s take a look at the first question. What are you trying to accomplish? If keeping the home is your main goal, then let’s take a look at your options. After all, before bothering to contact a mortgage default assistance firm, you should first learn your options. When it comes to keeping the home, you’ll need to do an analysis of your budget to prove that you can indeed afford the mortgage payment.

If you are unsure of what to do about your home because you have started to fall behind on your mortgage payments or you are unable to sell your home because you owe more money that what your home is worth, do not panic. There are answers out there. If either of the above situations describe something similar to what you are going through, you need to act quickly. Waiting can only make matters worse.

The first way to avoid foreclosure is to look into refinancing your mortgage. By refinancing your mortgage, before you get too far behind, you may be able to refinance to a program that can give you at least a temporary fix until your financial situation gets back in order or until the housing market begins to improve once again. Look into adjustable rate mortgages that are fixed for at least a couple of years, interest only loans, or Pay Option ARM loans so that you can improve your positive cash-flow to help out with your situation and buy you some time.  {continue}
