Getting The Correct Value Goes A Long Way.

Deed in lieu process will not be completed with your servicer (Shellpoint Mortgage) unless a valuation of the property is done. A real estate agent/broker or appraiser does the value. He reviews the comparables in the area to establish worth of home. In a valuation process properties that had sold and are on sale, both are reviewed.  Generally, they want to see the homes that have sold within the last 3 to 6 months but this depends on the volume of homes actively moving in your local market. They consider your homes perceived condition, the size of the living space,  how many stories it has,the size of the lot and whether or not it has a pool.

They will also consider market conditions and how fast homes are selling in the area. There are many factors they take into consideration which is why they hire a local professional rather than go online and use something like Zillow or Redfin.

Deed In Lieu Appraisal Values

Mortgages have different investors and Shellpoint Mortgage is responsible for representing the correct values to those investors so they can make their final decisions. Shellpoint Mortgage loan’s beneficiary is already going to be taking a loss so in most cases they will hire a local agent or broker to do a value referred to as a BPO or Broker’s Price Opinion because it’s cheaper than an appraisal. That will not always work though. In certain cases, the mortgage investor requires a deeper review to be completed by a licensed appraiser and one that is often certified by that investor to complete values as per their guidelines. Real Estate Appraisers are licensed specifically to value homes whereas agents can give their opinions (hence Broker’s Price Opinion) but that can almost always be over turned by an appraisal. Some investors such as Fannie Mae (FNMA) complete two appraisals. The type of value completed varies from servicer to servicer and investor to investor.

Fighting Values, Disputing Them and Requesting Variances

Sometimes a value return too high or too low? This happens all the time and it can happen to a novice or a true professional. One reason could be that they are not from the area and compare properties that don’t have anything in common with the subject property it does not matter how much you may try to meet with the BPO Agent or the Appraiser.  At this time you can provide a competing appraisal or set of comparables but choosing the right properties to compare is a skill set on its own.
