"A Chicken in Every Pot" political ad and rebuttal article in New York Times
Collection HH-HOOVH: Herbert Hoover PapersSeries: Herbert Hoover Papers: Clippings File
This is the advertisement that caused Herbert Hoover's opponents to state that he had promised voters a chicken in every pot and two cars in every garage during the campaign of 1928. During the campaign of 1932, Democrats sought to embarrass the President by recalling his alleged statement. According to an article in the New York Times (10/30/32), Hoover did not make such a statement. The report was based on this ad placed by a local committee -- which only mentions one car!
A Chicken for Every Pot [handwritten] World[?] 30 October 1928 [/handwritten] The Republican Party isn't a [italics] "Poor Man's Party:" [/italics] Republican prosperity has erased that degrading phrase from our political vocabulary. The Republican Party is [italics] equality's [/italics] party -- [italics] opportunity's [/italics] party -- [italics] democracy's [/italics] party, the party of [italics] national [/italics] development, not [italics] sectional [/italics] interests-- the [italics] impartial [/italics] servant of every State and condition in the Union. Under higher tariff and lower taxation, America has stabilized output, employment and dividend rates. Republican efficiency has filled the workingman's dinner pail -- and his gasoline tank [italics] besides [/italics] -- made telephone, radio and sanitary plumbing [italics] standard [/italics] household equipment. And placed the whole nation in the [italics] silk stocking class. [/italics] During eight years of Republican management, we have built more and better homes, erected more skyscrapers, passed more benefactory laws, and more laws to regulate and purify immigration, inaugurated more conservation measures, more measures to standardize and increase production, expand export markets, and reduce industrial and human junk piles, than in any previous quarter century. Republican prosperity is written on [italics] fuller [/italics] wage envelops, written in factory chimney smoke, written on the walls of new construction, written in savings bank books, written in mercantile balances, and written in the peak value of stocks and bonds. Republican prosperity has [italics] reduced [/italics] hours and [italics] increased [/italics] earning capacity, silenced [italics] discontent, [/italics] put the proverbial "chicken in every pot." And a car in every backyard, to boot. It has[italics] raised [/italics] living standards and [italics] lowered [/italics] living costs. It has restored financial confidence and enthusiasm, changed [italics] credit [/italics] from a [italics] rich [/italics] man's privilege to a [italics] common [/italics] utility, [italics] generalized[/italics] the use of time-saving devices and released women from the thrall of [italics] domestic drudgery. [/italics] It has provided every county in the country with its concrete road and knitted the highways of the nation into a [italics] unified [/italics] traffic system. Thanks to Republican administration, farmer, dairyman and merchant can make deliveries in [italics] less [/italics] time and at [italics] less [/italics] expense, can borrow [italics] cheap [/italics] money to refund exorbitant mortgages, and stock their pastures, ranges and shelves. Democratic management [italics] impoverished [/italics] and [italics] demoralized [/italics] the [italics] railroads,[/italics] led packing plants and tire factories into [italics] receivership, [/italics] squandered billions on [italics] impractical [/italics] programs. Democratic maladministration issued [italics] further [/italics] billions of mere "scraps of paper," then encouraged foreign debtors to believe that their loans would never be called, and bequeathed to the Republican Party the job of [italics] mopping up the mess. [/italics] Republican administration has [italics] restored [/italics] to the railroads solvency, efficiency and par securities. It has brought rubber trades through panic and chaos, brought down the prices of crude rubber by smashing [italics] monopolistic rings,[/italics] put the tanner's books in the [italics] black [/italics] and secured from the European powers formal acknowledgment of their obligations. The Republican Party rests its case on a record of stewardship and performance. [full transcription at link]

SEBASTIAN SON is a THIRTY-THREE-year-old WRITER in TROY, NY. They were brought under Richard’s care when they were only TWELVE. They are known as THE OBSERVER because they are INTERESTING but also JUDGMENTAL. Let’s see what choice they make regarding the fate of Woodrow House.
BASIC INFORMATION
Full Name: Sebastian (Gwanji) Son Nickname: Bas Pen Name: Bastian S. S. Date of Birth: October 23th, 1971 Age: 33 Occupation: Writer ("Fiction", mostly Thrillers.) Current Residence: Troy, NY
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
Hair: Black Eyes: Dark Brown Height: 6' 1⁄2" Notable Features: Sebastian has a very peculiar face, his sharp features and the coldness of his whole appearance make him look like he was sent straight from hell to drag you down to pay for your sins. His voice is deep and low, and as he is not very verbal, it can be very shocking to hear him talk for the first time.
PERSONALITY & BEHAVIOR:
Strengths: Impartial, Meticulous, Good Listener, Drop Dead Gorgeous. Weaknesses: Judgemental, Stubborn, Cunning. Quirks: He can only eat with spoons, hates forks, tolerates chopsticks, and loves knives, but not on the table. He cuts his meat with scissors while cooking, and never orders foods that will require a fork and knife when eating out. Hates straws. Hates gambling. Vices: Drinks occasionally, nothing more, nothing less.
INTEREST & HOBBIES:
Interests: People (do not mistake it with interacting with people) People Watching. Knives. Dark History. Hobbies: Fishing, Bird Watching. Bondage. Don't ask him, or maybe do if they dare to.Special Skills/Talents: Darts throwing. Good with ropes, good with knives. He is good at everything that requires his hands and good aim. Excellent handwriting.
BECOMING A WARD
Sebastian was a second-generation Korean immigrant to the United States. His parents had come to New York in search of a better life, and apparently, the American dream did knock on their door. Sebastian's father's business dealings made them rich quickly, and although his mother found suspicious how her husband had achieved the impossible in just two years, she didn't question it. It wasn't until the Chinese Mafia came to the home demanding the loans to be returned, that the family learned they had never really been rich from their father's business endeavors, but that the man had sold his soul to the devil, and now hell demanded their land back.
The father was shot in the forehead before the eyes of his wife and eleven-year-old son. The hitman sent by the mafia did not finish the job and let them live, but a few months later the mother drowned in the bathtub. Whether it was the mob or his mother's decision to end her life, Sebastian never knew, but the boy stopped talking when he was orphaned.
Richard learned of Sebastian's misfortune through the newspaper. The news of the reckoning made it to the headlines, but it wasn't until he heard the rumors from students at work that the boy was now an orphan as the mother had also lost her life. Richard's contacts were strong enough to find Sebastian before he was sent back to Korea with distant relatives.
LIFE AS A WARD
Sebastian didn't speak until eight months into his time in Woodrow, the trauma of losing his family was deep enough to leave him without words (literally) nonetheless, this wasn't the first time he had become non-verbal. Sebastian didn't put a word out into the world until he was six years old, perhaps the trauma of being born was powerful enough to keep him shut.
Every ward who was present during the time Sebastian arrived and those eight months into it knows the story. The infamous spoon story. All the wards were having breakfast together, Richard included, the table was chatty, and those children who were outspoken would talk and share their plans for the day with Richard. Sebastian sat quietly, looking at the girl sitting in front of him eating cereal, he watched her bring the spoon to her mouth while some milk spilled from it, and that was it. "I want a spoon, please." He said, scaring everybody at the table, including Mrs. Tristan, who received the request. Sebastian looked at the girl again, she had dropped her spoon from the scare of Sebastian's sudden speech coming back, "You have three seconds to pick up the spoon from the floor." he said to her, Sebastian was actually being playful, the three-seconds rule made it, trying to break the ice of the whole situation, but no one laughed, not only because this was the first time they had to hear his voice, but because Sebastian's speech and demeanor was intimidating. No one touched his spoons after that.
The wards could have mocked him for his quicks, his pale face, and the lack of coordination he had over his body while growing up, but none of them did. Sebastian scared them, he looked like the nightmares that would keep them awake at night. He watched them play while sitting by the stairs, he watched them so much it made them nervous and tripped over their feet, they would blame Sebastian for putting a curse on them.
When Sebastian turned 16 years old he grew into his looks, he became handsome but his stoic presence kept him from seeming approachable. The wards were no longer afraid of him, or so he thought, but he still looked like the devil himself and he enjoyed the chills everybody seemed to get when he walked into a room.
He was the observer, the watcher, but in the end, it was everybody else's eyes that were on him, for better or worse.
AESTHETIC
Sebastian dresses mostly in black, and sometimes some grey and camel make it to his closet. He wears perfectly tailored suits (he was a Woodrow kid after all) and all his outfits fit like a glove. He keeps his hair short and neat. His casual looks keep the same color palette but are less structured, he loves a turtle neck.
EDUCATION
Sebastian was torn when he had to choose between continuing his education in Woodrow or outside of it. Going to a private school meant he would have to speak more, talk to teachers, and do group projects, and Sebastian hated it. He wanted to pursue better education but he was not ready for it yet. He stayed in Woodrow until he had to attend University.
Sebastian had no fun there, he hated it in a way he had never hated. Why one couldn't get a degree being homeschooled, he couldn't conceive it, but he endured his years there, he chose to attend Richard's alma mater as at least he could think that Richard had to go through the same hell as him.
He received a dual degree in English and Journalism.
EXTRACURRICULARS
He had no real interest in sports but attended Tennis classes within the property to keep himself active. Richard knew Sebastian had chosen not to attend school outside of the estate because he didn't want to interact with new people and encouraged Sebastian to attend at least one extracurricular outside, that way he would prepare in advance for when he moved out for college. Sebastian took the advice and attended swimming classes. (It did not help much, as other kids were scared of him and asked to move to a different class.)
THEIR LIFE NOW
Sebastian started writing when he arrived at Woodrow, he had a way with words (even if they were not "heard" often), especially when a pen was the connection between his thoughts and words. Richard encouraged him to query his writing when he was in University and found a literary agent soon after. Sebastian always wondered if it truly was his writing that got him his book deal or Richard's contacts. He was grateful anyway.
He has published 15 books so far and is working on his 16th. He is known for being a quick writer, but the amount of books he has out shouldn't be a question when all Sebastian does is write. He doesn't have the most livid social life, though his dark looks match his dark preferences when it comes to "socializing".
Lives in NY still, is forced to attend book signings but everybody knows he won't utter a word and his agent does all the work. He visited Korea with his agent (his agent is his only real friend) but felt out of place, the only place he felt at home was Woodrow. He is too American to be Korean, too Korean to be American. His agent says he can always think he is from Hell, it suits him and sells books.
All of Sebastian's books are allegedly based on a ward and the one he is working on now is about Winifred Woodrow.

Evaluating Your Financial Situation: Counselors will review your financial status, including your income, expenses, and existing debts. This evaluation is crucial for determining if a reverse mortgage is the right option for you and if you can afford any related costs, such as property taxes and maintenance.
Identifying Alternatives: During counseling, you may discover alternative solutions for accessing cash or managing your retirement financing. Counselors can discuss options like home equity loans or other financial strategies that might be more suitable for your situation.
Understanding Responsibilities: A reverse mortgage comes with responsibilities, such as maintaining your home, paying property taxes, and homeowners insurance. Counseling ensures you are aware of these obligations to avoid any potential pitfalls.
Preparing for the Future: Understanding reverse mortgage benefits and disadvantages can help you plan for the long term. Counselors can provide insights into how this loan might impact your estate and inheritance, which is vital for seniors planning their legacies.
Conclusion

Brisbane Valuation: The Role of Professional Property Valuers in Brisbane
Tumblr media
Understanding the true value of a  Brisbane Valuation for both individuals and businesses involved in real estate transactions. Whether you’re buying, selling, investing, or dealing with legal matters, an accurate property valuation ensures that you make informed decisions based on the market's realities. In Brisbane, property valuers play a critical role in delivering reliable and unbiased assessments. Brisbane Valuation services provide a clear insight into property values across various sectors, helping clients navigate the complexities of the real estate market.
Why Property Valuation is Crucial
Property valuation is not just about knowing the worth of your home or building. It impacts a wide range of financial, legal, and investment decisions. Here are key reasons why property valuation is essential:
Buying and Selling Property: When buying a property, an accurate valuation ensures you pay a fair price, preventing overpaying in a competitive market. For sellers, knowing the property's true market value allows for realistic pricing, avoiding the pitfalls of underpricing or overpricing, which can delay sales.
Refinancing and Mortgage Approval: Lenders often require property valuations when offering mortgages or refinancing loans. A professional valuation confirms that the property’s value aligns with the amount being borrowed. An accurate valuation can speed up loan processing, ensuring better terms and interest rates for the borrower.
Legal and Tax Matters: Property valuations are necessary for legal matters like divorce settlements, inheritance, estate planning, or property disputes. The valuation provides an impartial assessment that helps in reaching fair resolutions. Similarly, for tax purposes, a valuation helps in determining capital gains tax, stamp duty, and other property-related taxes.
Investment Insights: Investors rely on property valuations to determine whether a property is a sound financial investment. Whether you’re looking at rental properties or commercial investments, the valuation gives you a clear understanding of the potential return on investment (ROI) and future growth prospects.

Brisbane Valuation Services: What Sets Them Apart
Brisbane Valuation services are known for their accuracy, professionalism, and thorough market analysis. With a team of certified and experienced property valuers, they provide a range of valuation services tailored to different client needs, including residential, commercial, and industrial properties. Here are some standout qualities of Brisbane Valuation services:
Local Expertise: Property valuers in Brisbane are familiar with the city's real estate market, its trends, and its various suburbs. From inner-city properties to suburban developments, valuers have an in-depth understanding of the factors that affect property values. Their local expertise ensures that every valuation reflects the current market conditions and regional variations.
Certified and Registered Valuers: Brisbane Valuation employs certified property valuers registered with professional bodies like the Australian Property Institute (API). These valuers follow strict industry guidelines, ensuring that all assessments are impartial, accurate, and conducted with integrity.
Comprehensive Valuation Reports: Brisbane Valuers provide detailed valuation reports, which include an analysis of comparable property sales, the property’s condition, its location, and other influencing factors.

Unbiased Valuations: As independent property valuers, Brisbane Valuation services provide impartial assessments. Unlike real estate agents who may have a vested interest in the transaction, valuers offer unbiased valuations without external influences, ensuring transparency and reliability.
Factors Influencing Property Valuation in Brisbane
Several factors determine a property’s value, and understanding these influences can help you anticipate how a valuer might assess your property:
Location: The property's location plays a major role in determining its value. Proximity to the city centre, schools, public transportation, parks, and other amenities boosts property prices. In Brisbane, properties located in desirable suburbs or areas with future development potential tend to have higher valuations.
Property Size and Condition: The size of the land, the number of rooms, and the condition of the property are key considerations. A well-maintained property with modern amenities, recent renovations, and a functional layout will generally have a higher market value than one that needs substantial repairs.
Market Conditions: The overall state of the real estate market influences property values. During a market boom, property prices may rise due to high demand and limited supply, while in a market downturn, prices may decrease. Property valuers take into account the broader market conditions to provide an accurate assessment.
Comparable Sales: Recent sales of similar properties in the area are often used as benchmarks to estimate a property’s value. Valuers analyze sales data to compare the property being evaluated with others of similar size, location, and condition to arrive at a fair value.
Choosing a Property Valuer in Brisbane
When selecting a property valuer, it's important to choose one with the right qualifications, experience, and local market knowledge. Brisbane Valuation services meet all these criteria, offering clients peace of mind that they’re receiving accurate and impartial valuations. Look for valuers who are registered with professional bodies and have a deep understanding of Brisbane’s real estate landscape.
Conclusion
Whether you’re buying, selling, or dealing with legal or financial matters, property valuation is a crucial step in ensuring fair transactions and informed decisions. Brisbane Valuers provide expert, unbiased assessments Property Valuation Brisbane tailored to the specific needs of their clients, helping you navigate the complexities of the property market.

5 Key Benefits of Getting a Property Valuation in Perth
Property valuation is a crucial step in any real estate transaction, whether you're buying, selling, refinancing, or simply trying to understand the value of your property. In Perth, a professional property valuation provides an accurate and unbiased estimate of your property's market value. This can benefit homeowners, investors, and potential buyers in various ways. In this blog, we'll explore the five key benefits of getting a property valuation in Perth.
1. Accurate Pricing for Selling Your Property
One of the most important benefits of obtaining a property valuation in Perth is the ability to set an accurate and competitive price when selling your home. Overpricing a property can result in it sitting on the market for an extended period, while underpricing it may lead to a loss of potential profit. A professional valuation gives you a clear understanding of the property's true worth based on current market conditions.
Benefits for sellers include:
Confidence in setting the right asking price
Avoiding overpricing, which can deter buyers
Reducing the risk of underpricing and missing out on potential profits
With an accurate valuation, you can attract serious buyers and increase your chances of a quicker, smoother sale.
2. Informed Decisions for Property Investment
If you're considering investing in the Perth property market, a professional property valuation is essential. It allows you to assess the investment potential of a property, helping you make more informed decisions. By understanding a property's current market value, potential rental income, and future appreciation, you can evaluate whether it's a worthwhile investment.
Key insights for investors:
A clear understanding of potential rental yields
Accurate assessment of the property's growth potential
Confidence in negotiating the right purchase price
For investors, a property valuation in Perth ensures that you’re making sound financial decisions that align with your long-term investment strategy.
3. Assistance in Refinancing and Securing Loans
When refinancing your mortgage or applying for a new loan, lenders require an accurate assessment of your property's value. A property valuation in Perth provides a solid foundation for loan approvals and refinancing decisions. Lenders rely on valuations to determine the amount they're willing to lend, and having a professional valuation ensures that your application process goes smoothly.
Benefits for refinancing:
Provides a clear basis for loan amounts
Helps secure better interest rates if your property's value has increased
Gives leverage when negotiating with lenders
With an up-to-date property valuation, you can maximize your refinancing options and ensure you're getting the best deal from your lender.
4. Property Disputes and Legal Matters
Property disputes, whether related to divorce settlements, inheritance, or joint ownership, often require an accurate property valuation. In legal cases, a professional valuation is often used as an unbiased assessment of the property's worth. This can be crucial when dividing assets fairly or settling disputes amicably.
Why it's important in legal cases:
Provides a fair and impartial property assessment
Reduces the chances of disagreements and disputes
Ensures compliance with legal requirements in asset division
Getting a property valuation in Perth is essential for resolving disputes and navigating legal matters involving real estate.
5. Understanding Your Property’s Market Position
Even if you're not planning to sell or refinance, obtaining a property valuation can give you valuable insights into your home's market position. By knowing how much your property is worth, you can make better decisions about home improvements, future investments, or whether it's time to sell. Property values fluctuate over time, and a current valuation helps you stay informed about market trends and shifts.
Benefits for homeowners:
Insight into the current market value of your home
Understanding how local market trends affect your property’s value
Guidance on when to sell or make improvements
For homeowners who want to stay informed and proactive, regular property valuations offer valuable insights into their real estate portfolio.
Conclusion
Getting a property valuation in Perth offers numerous benefits, from ensuring you set the right price when selling to helping you make informed investment decisions. Whether you're navigating legal disputes, refinancing, or simply staying on top of your property's market value, a professional valuation provides clarity and peace of mind.

Top Reasons to Hire a Notary Public in the UK
Tumblr media
In an increasingly complex world, navigating legal matters can be daunting. From signing official documents to validating sensitive agreements, ensuring the legitimacy of your paperwork is paramount. One solution is to engage the services of a Notary Public in the UK. Here, we’ll explore the top reasons why hiring a notary is essential for individuals and businesses alike.
1. Verification of Documents
One of the primary roles of a Notary Public is the authentication of documents. This involves verifying the identity of the signatories and ensuring that the content of the document is legitimate and accurate. Whether it's a power of attorney, a will, or an international contract, having a notary verify the authenticity can help avoid legal disputes later. The notary’s stamp or signature indicates that the document has been properly examined and that all parties involved were fully aware of its content.
2. Compliance with Legal Requirements
Certain legal transactions require notarisation by law. For instance, in the UK, if you're engaging in property transactions, witnessing signatures for business contracts, or certifying copies of documents, a Notary Public must be involved. The certification by a notary ensures that these documents meet the relevant legal standards. In many cases, especially when dealing with international transactions, notarisation is a legal requirement, without which the document may not be valid or enforceable.
3. Facilitation of International Transactions
If you're involved in international business or need to send documents abroad, you will likely need the services of a Notary Public. Many foreign jurisdictions require documents to be notarised before they are accepted. This is especially important when dealing with foreign investments, property purchases, or multinational agreements. A Notary Public ensures that these documents comply with both UK law and the legal requirements of the foreign country. Additionally, they may assist with the apostille process, where a document is authenticated for use in another country.
4. Protection Against Fraud
The world of legal documents is not immune to fraud. Forgeries, impersonations, and alterations can result in disastrous legal consequences. When you hire a Notary Public, they take on the responsibility of verifying the authenticity of the individuals signing the document. Notaries are trained to detect potential signs of fraud, and they ensure that each party signs willingly, without coercion. By requiring all parties to sign in the presence of the notary and producing identification, the risk of fraudulent activity is significantly reduced.
5. Assistance with Property Transactions
When purchasing or selling property, especially international real estate, hiring a Notary Public is critical. In many cases, you will need notarised documents to complete the sale or transfer of ownership. A notary ensures that deeds, mortgage papers, and other essential documents are signed correctly and that all parties understand the legal obligations. Whether you're buying a holiday home abroad or selling property in the UK, a notary can help ensure the transaction is legally binding.
6. Witnessing Signatures
A Notary Public acts as an impartial witness to the signing of important documents. This ensures that all signatures are genuine and that the individuals involved fully understand what they are signing. From loan agreements to business contracts, having a notary witness the signing provides an added layer of security and credibility. Furthermore, in some legal scenarios, the involvement of a notary is required for the document to be legally enforceable.
7. Certifying True Copies of Documents
Another critical role of a Notary Public is to certify that copies of documents are true and accurate representations of the original. This is often required when submitting copies of passports, degrees, or legal contracts for official purposes. By having a notary certify the copies, you ensure that they will be accepted by authorities, whether in the UK or abroad. This service is particularly valuable when dealing with immigration, visa applications, or academic verifications.
8. Ensuring the Enforceability of Legal Documents
In many instances, a document that has not been notarised may not be legally enforceable. This is particularly true in situations where a document is to be used in a court of law or presented to an official body. By hiring a Notary Public, you ensure that your documents will hold up under legal scrutiny. This can be especially important in the event of disputes or when dealing with foreign authorities, where notarisation is often required.
9. Peace of Mind in Legal Transactions
Legal transactions can be stressful, especially if you're unsure about the validity or legal standing of a document.

The notary’s involvement ensures that the document has been thoroughly reviewed and validated, giving you confidence that everything is in compliance with legal standards.

12. Cost-Effective Legal Solutions
Although some might view hiring a Notary Public as an added expense, it is a cost-effective solution compared to the potential legal consequences of not having documents properly notarised. The cost of a notary is minimal when compared to the potential risks of legal disputes, fraud, or unenforceable contracts. By ensuring that your documents are validated by a professional, you reduce the risk of costly legal issues down the road.
Conclusion
In summary, hiring a Notary Public in the UK offers a range of benefits, from ensuring the authenticity of legal documents to providing protection against fraud. Whether for personal or business purposes, their services are invaluable in today’s increasingly complex legal landscape.

Understanding Real Estate Appraisals: What You Need to Know
Understanding Real Estate Appraisals: What You Need to Know https://ift.tt/64DBf0u In real estate, property appraisals play a vital role in determining the value of a property. Understanding real estate appraisals is essential whether buying, selling, or refinancing a home.   What Is a Real Estate Appraisal? A real estate appraisal is a professional assessment of the value of a property. It’s conducted by a licensed appraiser who uses their expertise and various valuation methods to determine an unbiased and accurate estimate of the property’s worth. Here’s what you need to know: Purpose of an Appraisal: Appraisals are often required during real estate transactions. Lenders use them to ensure the property’s value sufficiently covers the loan amount. Buyers and sellers rely on appraisals to determine a fair market price. Factors Considered: Appraisers consider several factors when determining a property’s value. These include the property’s size, location, condition, age, features, recent renovations, and comparable sales. Appraisal Methods: Appraisers typically use three common approaches to determine property value: the Sales Comparison Approach, the Cost Approach, and the Income Approach. The Sales Comparison Approach is the most commonly used for residential properties and involves comparing the subject property to recently sold properties with similar characteristics. Independence and Objectivity: Appraisers must remain impartial and independent. The buyer, seller, or lender’s interests do not influence them. This ensures that the appraisal objectively assesses the property’s value. Appraisal Report: After the appraisal is complete, the appraiser provides a detailed report that includes the property’s estimated value, the methodology used, and information about comparable sales. This report is valuable for buyers and sellers in understanding the basis for the appraised value. Impact on Financing: If the appraisal value is lower than the agreed-upon purchase price, it can have significant implications. Buyers may need to make up the difference in cash, renegotiate the price, or the deal could fall through. Challenges and Rebuttals: In some cases, parties involved may challenge the appraisal if they believe it’s inaccurate. However, this process can be complex and requires strong evidence to support a different valuation. Property Improvements: Improvements can positively impact a property’s appraisal value. These improvements include renovations, additions, or upgrades that enhance the property’s appeal and functionality. Local Market Dynamics: Real estate markets can be highly localized, and appraisers consider this. When determining its value, they consider the specific economic conditions and supply and demand factors in the property’s location. Appraiser Qualifications: Appraisers must be licensed or certified by the state where they operate. Their qualifications ensure they have the knowledge and expertise to perform accurate property appraisals.   Real estate appraisals are a fundamental part of property transactions. They objectively assess a property’s value, helping buyers, sellers, and lenders make informed decisions. Understanding the process and the factors that influence appraisals can empower you to navigate the real estate market confidently and clearly. Whether buying your dream home, selling an investment property, or refinancing your mortgage, a solid grasp of real estate appraisals is invaluable.

The Roles of Various Stakeholders in the Mortgage Life Cycle 
Tumblr media
The journey of homeownership is a multifaceted process that involves various stages, each crucial for the successful acquisition of property. The Mortgage Life Cycle, encompassing everything from loan initiation to repayment, is a complex web of interactions between different stakeholders. Understanding the roles played by each participant is key to ensuring a smooth and efficient process. 
Borrowers 
At the heart of the Mortgage Life Cycle are the borrowers – individuals or families aspiring to own a home. Their role extends beyond merely applying for a loan. Borrowers must meticulously assess their financial health, understand mortgage terms, and provide accurate documentation. This phase is critical, as it sets the foundation for the entire process. Choosing the right mortgage and understanding its implications are vital steps that can significantly impact a borrower's financial future. 
Lenders 
Lenders play a pivotal role in the Mortgage Life Cycle, acting as the financial gatekeepers who evaluate the risk associated with lending. Their responsibilities include assessing the borrower's creditworthiness, verifying documentation, and determining the loan amount and interest rates. Throughout the process, lenders act as guides, providing crucial information to borrowers and helping them navigate the intricate world of mortgages. Their decisions have a direct impact on the borrower's ability to acquire a home.  
Real Estate Agents 
Real estate agents are the bridge between borrowers and sellers, offering valuable insights into the housing market. Their role in the Mortgage Life Cycle involves understanding the specific needs of the borrowers, identifying suitable properties, and facilitating negotiations between buyers and sellers. Additionally, they play a crucial part in coordinating with lenders and ensuring a seamless flow of information, contributing to a faster and more efficient mortgage approval process.  
Appraisers 
An often overlooked but essential part of the Mortgage Life Cycle, appraisers determine the fair market value of a property. Lenders rely on their expertise to ensure that the loan amount aligns with the property's actual worth. Appraisers not only protect lenders from overvaluing assets but also safeguard borrowers from potential overpricing. Their impartial evaluations contribute to a fair and transparent mortgage process.  
Title Companies 
Title companies play a critical role in ensuring the legal integrity of a property transaction. They conduct thorough title searches to identify any potential legal issues that could affect the property's ownership. Clearing these issues is vital for obtaining a mortgage, as it provides lenders and borrowers with confidence in the property's legal standing. The work of title companies is essential for the smooth progression of the Mortgage Life Cycle.  
Underwriters 
Once the borrowers submit their application, underwriters step in to assess the overall risk associated with the mortgage. Their role involves scrutinizing the borrower's financial history, employment status, and creditworthiness. Underwriters ensure that the mortgage aligns with the lender's risk tolerance and guidelines. Their meticulous analysis is fundamental to the approval process, as they act as guardians of risk management, protecting lenders from potential financial pitfalls. 
Government Agencies 
Government agencies, such as the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), play a regulatory role in the Mortgage Life Cycle. They provide guidelines, insurance, and support for specific types of mortgages. These agencies aim to make homeownership accessible to a broader population and ensure fair lending practices. Government intervention helps maintain stability and integrity within the mortgage market.  
Insurance Providers: Safeguards for Borrowers and Lenders 
Insurance providers offer a safety net for both borrowers and lenders. Mortgage insurance protects lenders in case of borrower default, allowing them to recover a portion of the outstanding loan. On the other hand, homeowners' insurance provides financial protection to borrowers in the event of property damage or loss. These insurance components are integral to Mortgage Life Cycle, offering security and peace of mind to all stakeholders involved. 
Conclusion  
The Mortgage Life Cycle is a collaborative journey that involves a myriad of stakeholders, each with a unique and indispensable role. From borrowers and lenders to real estate agents and insurance providers, the success of homeownership relies on the seamless interaction of these participants. Understanding and appreciating the contributions of each stakeholder fosters a more informed and empowered approach to navigating the complex world of mortgages. As we delve into the intricacies of the Mortgage Life Cycle, it becomes evident that every role, no matter how seemingly small, is crucial in contributing to the homeownership.

How Do You Challenge An Appraisal?
Tumblr media
A home appraisal is an important part of buying and selling a home. You have to go through the appraisal process to buy a home with a loan, refinance your current mortgage, or to sell a home to anyone except a buyer with all-cash.
During an appraisal, a professional gives their unbiased view on the value of the home. The appraiser creates a report based on their inspection of the home, current trends in the market, and comparable sales nearby of similar properties. A borrower usually pays for the appraisal fee. If a home appraises for lower than what was anticipated, then the bank may not extend financing. A bank wants to make sure that they’re not giving a loan to homeowners who are borrowing too much because the home is loan collateral.
The appraisal is just one way a lender is protecting themselves and minimizing their losses if something happens and the borrower defaults.
If you’re a seller and you get a lower appraisal than expected, you may have to lower the price of your home. If you’re a buyer, you might not get financing.
There are some things you can do to challenge an appraisal if you feel it’s too low, though.
Get a Copy
If an appraisal is threatening to derail a sale, the first thing to do is to get a copy. You can’t challenge it if you don’t know what the issues are. Sellers don’t usually get access to the appraisal, but the buyer, if they paid for it will.  
From there, once you get a copy, look for errors. Appraisals can and do have errors. For example, the square footage could be wrong, the number of bathrooms could be listed incorrectly or the home could be listed as being in the wrong neighborhood.
Are The Comps Up-to-Date?
One of the biggest factors that play a role in an appraisal is the comparable properties or the comps. Comps are homes that might be located nearby or have similar square footage. These homes also should have sold within six months or more recently if they’re included in the appraisal. If the comps used aren’t appropriate, it can be grounds to challenge an appraisal. For example, maybe the comps include a foreclosure or a home that’s much bigger or smaller.  
There may also be recent sales that would be appropriate comps that aren’t included.
Were Any Improvements Left Out?
An appraiser will want to know what improvements have been made to a home. They may miss them, however. For example, maybe you’ve added a bathroom or bedroom. If this is left out, again it can be a factor you can use to challenge an appraisal.
How Well Does the Appraiser Know the Area?
Your lender isn’t allowed to choose the appraiser to make sure the process is impartial. However, this can mean that the appraiser isn’t necessarily qualified, at least not in the particular area. Knowing the area well is key for a good and accurate appraisal.
If an appraiser is coming from 50 miles or more away, then they’re just not going to be familiar with the neighborhood. You might be able to appeal to your lender and get another appraisal if this has been an issue.
Even before you get an appraisal, you can look the person up who will be doing it. If you don’t feel like they’re qualified or they don’t have the necessary local knowledge based on your research, you can request that your lender get a new one.
It should be noted that while there are opportunities to appeal an appraisal, you’re not always going to get what you want. The lender might turn to an appraisal review committee if there’s an issue, and that could actually lead to an adjustment that’s downward.
If you find yourself in a difficult situation with the appraisal and your lender isn’t being helpful, you may have to find another bank to finance the home.
