Reconsideration of Value (ROV) Process
What Is a Reconsideration of Value (ROV)?
The Reconsideration of Value (ROV) process allows homeowners, buyers, and sellers to challenge an appraised property value that may not accurately reflect its true worth. If you believe the appraiser overlooked relevant information or used incorrect data, The Mortgage Calculator is here to help guide you through the ROV process.
An accurate appraisal is essential to ensuring a fair and equitable loan process. Our team works with you to address concerns and provide the necessary documentation to request a review.
When Should You Consider an ROV?
You might consider an ROV if:
- Comparable sales (comps) were overlooked.
- The appraiser used outdated or inaccurate comps.
- Home upgrades or improvements were not accounted for.
- Property characteristics were incorrectly described.
- Market trends were not properly reflected in the valuation.
