Let USAppraisers take care of your appraisal

To a lot of people, an appraisal is simply another fee in the long list of items for a mortgage or refinance. Even though there are a multiplying number of automated home valuation systems that might appear to be more prudent than an appraisal, almost all lenders still call for a local expert because the stakes are very high. You might believe that securing a mortgage is the only reason to acquire an appraisal, but there are other situations when the services of a licensed, independent real estate professional could be helpful.

PMI removal to lower your mortgage payment

Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is a supplemental insurance plan that nearly all lenders ask homebuyers to purchase when the amount being loaned to the home owner is more than 80% of the actual value of the real estate. This additional payment is often bundled into the monthly mortgage payment and is promptly forgotten. This is unfortunate because PMI is no longer required when the remainder of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - falls below the 80% mark. In fact, the Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) of 1998 was implemented by the United States Congress that requires lenders to dismiss the PMI payments on most mortgages when the balance is paid down to 78% of the original value.

If you'd like to eliminate PMI, USAppraisers will provide you with a statement regarding the value of your home. The price you paid for the home valuation can generally be recovered in little time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.

An appraisal from USAppraisers will help you settle a divorce with less stress

A divorce is often complicated by the challenging decision of who gets the home, and it can be an especially heartbreaking ordeal for both parties. It's a good idea to order an appraisal from USAppraisers so both parties are completely aware of the true market value of their property, regardless of the situation.

The parties will have a clearer picture of what price to set, if they wish to sell the home. And if a "buyout" is the chosen option, both parties will feel like they've gotten a fair assessment.

Fair and accurate 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 highest degree of discretion.

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