Home Owner, Seller or Buyer Services

Home Appraisal Products - Fortuna & DiFlumeri is approved by many major lending institutions. We strongly urge home owners and buyers to contact your lending institution first to confirm that we are on their approved list. In the event that we are not approved with your lender we will provide the necessary documents to become approved.

Whether you are buying or selling a home, an appraisal product can put you into a position of power.

Home Seller - An appraisal product can assist home sellers by supplying an opinion of "fair market value" for your home. This information will help you to determine a reasonable asking price which will reduce the marketing time for your home while providing confidence that you are receiving a fair price.

Home Buyer - An appraisal product can assist home buyers in two ways. Primarily, an appraisal will provide you with a "fair market value" on a prospective home purchase which can be used as an "offer" on the home. The information contained in the appraisal will support your position during negotiation and can be put to use if you wish to obtain a mortgage.

Home Owner - With a home appraisal product knowledge is power. A home appraisal can be used for many purposes including:

  • Estate Planning
  • Tax Appeal
  • Refinancing for debt consolidation
  • PMI Removal - Fortuna & DiFlumeri can help with your PMI removal. PMI insurance is generally required by lending institutions to ensure that the lender/investor is protected against mortgage default if there is less than a twenty percent down payment at the time of purchase.

    You may be eligible to lower your mortgage payments by having your PMI insurance removed. Many lenders will cancel your PMI insurance if your home has increased in value through appreciation. Your home can appreciate due to many factors. Typically appreciation will occur when you have made home improvements. To learn more about removing your PMI insurance please contact us by email or call our offices. Please do not submit an order for the purpose of PMI removal without contacting your lending institution first.

  • If your question has not been answered by our website please contact us by email or please call our offices.
