Reasons someone would need Prestige Appraisal, LLC

To a lot of people, an appraisal just looks like another cost on the break-sheet for a mortgage or refinance. Most lenders still need a local expert because the stakes are incredibly high, even though there are a developing number of automated home valuation processes that might seem less expensive than an appraisal. But is getting a mortgage the only reason you should get an appraisal? Are there more cases when the services of a licensed, independent real estate professional might be helpful? Of course there are.

Eliminating PMI will lower your mortgage payment

When the amount being loaned to the buyer is more than 80% of the actual value of the property, almost all lenders ask home owners to purchase an additional insurance policy. That policy is Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI. This added payment is often folded into the monthly mortgage payment and is quickly forgotten. PMI is no longer required when the remaining balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - dips below the 80% level, making this very unfortunate. 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.

If you'd like to get rid of PMI, Prestige Appraisal, LLC can give you a statement regarding the value of your home. The price you paid for the appraisal can often be offset in little time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.

Trustworthy estate liquidation

Losing 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, guaranteeing the utmost degree of discretion.

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

Selling your home quickly at the right price
