Why would you need an appraisal from Appraisals Plus Inc?

To a lot of us, an appraisal is simply another fee in the long list of items for a mortgage or refinance. The majority of lenders still want a local expert because the stakes are very high, even though there are a multiplying number of automated home valuation processes that may seem more practical than an appraisal. You might believe that securing a mortgage is the only reason you should get an appraisal, but there are other times when the services of a licensed, independent real estate professional might be beneficial.

How can you get rid of PMI to lower your mortgage payment?

Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is a supplemental insurance plan that many lenders ask homebuyers to buy when the amount being loaned to the home buyer is more than 80% of the actual value of the home. Oftentimes, this additional payment is folded into the monthly mortgage payment and is promptly forgotten. This is bad because PMI is unnecessary when the leftover balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - dips below the 80% level. In fact, the United States Congress passed a law in 1998 (the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998) requiring lenders to eliminate the PMI payments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met.

Appraisals Plus Inc will give you a statement regarding the value of your home, and the cost of the appraisal can usually be regained in a short amount of time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.

Divorce settlement with less stress

Regardless of the circumstances, it's prudent to get an appraisal from Appraisals Plus Inc so both parties are completely aware of the true market value of their property.

The parties will have a better idea of what price to set, if they want to sell the home. And if a "buyout" is the chosen option, both parties will feel like they've received a fair evaluation.

Trustworthy estate liquidation

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

Unlike wealthy individuals, most Americans do not have dedicated estate planners or executors to take care of these matters. And since a home or other property often makes up an unequal share of the total estate value, understanding the absolute value of the real estate at hand is of essential importance to ensuring disputing parties leave knowing they've received a fair deal.
