Asset valuation for sale or purchase
Asset Valuation requires experience and expertise which is why so many companies look to HMS Associates asset valuation appraisal services to help them make better and more informed decisions.

Mortgage origination
The mortgage process includes all steps taken by a lender to attract and qualify a borrower, process the mortgage loan, and place it on the lender's books. As part of that process HMS can provide your with a fast appraisal.

PMI removal
PMI Insurance (private mortgage insurance) is a cost added to the monthly payment of many mortgage loans. You may be able to get rid of it based on the equity in your home and reduce your monthly payment. Let HMS get you an appraisal fast so you can start using that extra money for other things.

Assessment Appeal Services
There are as many different procedures for appealing assessments as there are property taxing districts, so it’s important to work with experienced professionals. HMS Associates will conduct an independent, third-party report based on our own evaluation.

Divorce Appraisals
The first step in deciding "Who gets the house?" is getting an accurate appraisal. HMS’s professional, high quality appraisals will stand up in court proceedings and under the most sensitive circumstances.

Date of Death Evaluations
There are many situations when you might need to know the value of a property on a specific date in the past, rather than when the appraisal was conducted. For estate tax purposes or disposition of assets of a decedent, HMS Associates can provide a "date of death" valuation.

Preconstruction and Land Appraisals
We prepare valuations to aid in selling or purchasing raw land and for construction loans and tax abatement purposes. Specific examples can be:

421a Tax abatements - Land appraisals are required for owners of three- and four-family buildings who may qualify for tax abatements for up to 25 years if they have owned the property over two years.

Simple financing – Developers and investors need appraisals to get bank, lender, or equity financing to acquire or refinance.

Pre-acquisitions – Developers can learn the value of purchased land to help calculate the per-square-foot cost of building.
