Ordering an appraisal from Appraisal Professionals, LLC

Let Appraisal Professionals, LLC help you get rid of PMI to lower your mortgage payment

Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is an additional insurance policy that almost all lenders ask homeowners to buy when the amount being loaned to the home buyer is more than 80% of the actual value of the real estate. Very often, this additional payment is bundled into the monthly mortgage payment and is quickly forgotten. This is unfavorable because PMI isn't necessary when the leftover balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - falls below the 80% mark. In fact, the United States Congress implemented a law in 1998 (the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998) that requires lenders to eliminate the PMI payments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met.

Appraisal Professionals, LLC will produce a statement regarding the value of your home, and the expense of the appraisal can generally be offset in a short amount of time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.

Divorce settlement with less stress

A divorce is often complicated by the burdensome decision of who gets the house, and it can be a particularly heartbreaking event for both parties. Regardless of the situation, it's wise to get an appraisal from Appraisal Professionals, LLC so both parties are entirely aware of the true market value of their home.

If the parties want to sell the home, they'll have a clearer picture of what price to set. And on the flip side, if a "buyout" is the chosen option, both parties will feel like they've gotten a fair evaluation.

Settling an estate with peace of mind

The loss of a loved one is a difficult 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 maximum degree of discretion.

Unlike many 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 a disproportionate share of the total estate value, understanding the certain value of the real estate at hand is of significant importance to ensuring disputing parties leave knowing they've received a fair deal.
