<p>There are many Realtors who are encouraging the use of independent real estate appraisals to their prospective sellers. In todays market you see a lot of sellers who are willing to list their properties with Realtors but are unwilling to take their advice as to what price to market it at. There are many people who are just not realistic about their selling prices. An unbiased and independent real estate appraisal can make the seller feel more confident about the price they are listing at and prospective buyers feel more confident in the price they are paying as well as their ability to secure financing (yet another issues in todays market place). An appraisal can help with negotiations as well. Valucent Corp. provides appraisals for pre-listing and pre-purchase market value estimates. Our appraisals for such purposes are done by experienced and licensed local professionals and are reviewed by out in-house staff review appraisers at no additional charge. We do not only provide closed sales comparables, we also provide active listing and/or pending sales comparables, to make sure our appraisals are as accurate and current as possible. It is time to think "outside the box".<br /><br />If you are interested in our services, or know someone who may be, please visit us on the web at <a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LnZhbHVjZW50LmNvbQ==">www. valucent. com</a> or e-mail us at <a href="mailto:info@valucent.com">info@valucent.com</a>.<br /><br /><br />Thanks and good luck!</p> (HVCC) Home Valuation Code of Conduct....AKA; Cuomo Agreement...http://activerain.com/blogsview/592503/HVCC-Home-Valuation-Code-of-ConductAKA-Cuomo-Agreement2008-07-14T11:31:01ZBrian Locke (Valucent Corp.)
<p>Attention: Mortgage brokers, loan officers and mortgage bankers...</p>
<p>Can your current real estate appraisal providers accommodate your needs coming into 2009, considering the proposed changes created by the Home Valuation Code of Conduct (HVCC)? </p>
<p>Valucent Corp. (<a href="http://www.valucent.com">www.valucent.com</a>) is a nationwide appraisal management company that was created by experienced appraisers and appraisal managers who understand the needs of clients and obligations of appraisers on a national level. The concept for our company was developed prior to the introduction of the Cuomo Agreements and the advancement of the HVCC. The founders of Valucent Corp. had started this endeavor due to shortcomings we felt existed from smaller appraisal shop and larger national vendor management company, for their multiple state clients </p>
<p>Our platform allows us to meet your appraisal needs on a national level yet give you the kind of personalized service you would expect from a local appraisal firm. We respect our client's needs and understand our appraiser's obligations. </p>
<p>The Valucent Corp.'s founding management team has over 55 years of collective experience appraising residential properties, more than 32 years experience in national appraisal review and fraud detection. We have worked as the appraiser and as the client of appraisers. Our understanding of both bridges the gap left by traditional Appraisal Management Companies. Our business focus is the appraisal, real estate valuation and related services. We are not a title company who turned to appraisal and we are not a local appraisal shop that turned national. We have the experience as appraisers and we have the experience nationwide. This concentration of experience enables us to detect and reconcile problems in advance of delivery to the client to ensure clear and accurate valuations. Our quality control procedures have been developed over the past decade and are unparalleled. Our proprietary vendor scoring system ensures good service and outstanding quality. </p>
<p>Our mission at Valucent Corp. is to match our clients with seasoned valuation professionals and products to meet all of their needs. We value appraiser independence and we deliver unbiased valuation opinions. Today's environment requires independent valuation and auditing services. Valucent Corp. is poised to meet these needs, clearly and objectively.</p>

<p>Dear Homeowner,</p>
<p align="justify">As you may already know, selling your home in today's market can be difficult. We would like to share with you how we can help you sell your property faster and for the right price.</p>
<p align="justify">An independent professional appraisal can shorten your time-to-sale and make sale negotiations easier. It can give credibility to your asking price and can effectively end haggling. When you have a current appraisal on your home, prospective buyers feel more confident in buying your home and in their ability to secure the financing*. You will also feel more comfortable in having an unbiased professional opinion of your home's market value before selling.</p>
<p align="justify">A professional appraisal is an independent third party opinion of your home's value. When you show the home, the appraisal is a concrete selling tool, showing potential buyers that you are serious about your price and about selling.</p>
<p align="justify">Valucent Corp. is a national appraisal management company that has qualified and licensed appraisal professionals who are experienced in appraising homes values in your local market. For an additional level of quality control, the appraisal of your home will go through our in-house review process which will make certain your report is as accurate as possible. </p>
<p align="justify">As a national real estate appraisal company, we also have the coverage to complete appraisal assignments on any out of area or out of state properties you may have, such as; summer/vacation homes, vacant land, second homes, or investment properties. Aside from providing pre-listing estimates we can appraise properties for individual consumers for the purpose of probate/estate settlement, estate planning, divorce/matrimonial disputes, pre-purchase price estimates, and more. If you are in default or in threat of foreclosure**, an independent appraisal can help you determine if you have remaining equity in your home and if selling is right for you or, if your bank allows, for support in working out a "short sale" arrangement with your lender. We also offer appraisals and field reviews that can be completed back to ("as of") the date of the original appraisal completed to obtain your mortgage to ascertain if the appraisal was accurate at that time. </p>
<p align="justify">If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at <strong>631-629-4095</strong> or e-mail us at <a href="mailto:info@valucent.com">info@valucent.com</a>. We also invite you to visit us on the web at <a href="http://www.valucent.com">www.valucent.com</a>. We look forward to serving your real estate appraisal needs. </p>
