Let Appraisal Solutions LLC take care of your appraisal needs

To many, an appraisal is simply another fee on the settlement sheet for a home sale or refinance. Practically all lenders still call in a local expert because the stakes are incredibly high, even though there are a multiplying number of automated home valuation methods that might appear to be more prudent than an appraisal. Is securing a mortgage the only basis for getting an appraisal? Are there other times when the services of a licensed, independent real estate professional could be helpful? Of course there are.

PMI removal to reduce your mortgage payment

Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is an extra insurance policy that nearly all lenders ask home owners to purchase when the amount being loaned to the homebuyer is more than 80% of the actual value of the real estate. This added payment is often bundled into the monthly mortgage payment and is quickly forgotten. PMI is unnecessary when the leftover balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - falls below the 80% mark, making this very unfavorable. In fact, the Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) of 1998 was implemented by the United States Congress that requires lenders to remove the PMI installments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met.

If you'd like to get rid of PMI, Appraisal Solutions LLC will produce a statement regarding the value of your home. The cost of the appraisal can generally be recovered in just a few months because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.

Determine a fair and accurate valuation for estate liquidation

The loss of a loved one is a hard time in life, and settling an estate from a death, or probate, often calls for an appraisal to establish Fair Market Value for the residential property involved. The ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds us with confidentiality, guaranteeing the utmost degree of discretion.

Unlike wealthy individuals, most Americans do not have dedicated estate planners or executors to manage these affairs. A home or other property often makes up an unequal share of the total estate value, so understanding the true value of the real estate at hand is of significant importance to ensuring disputing parties leave knowing they've gotten an honest deal.
