Ordering an appraisal from Executive Appraisal Solutions, LLC.

To a lot of us, an appraisal is simply another fee in the long list of items for a mortgage or refinance. While there are a developing number of automated home valuation processes that may seem more practical than an appraisal, most lenders still want a local expert because the stakes are so high. You might assume that obtaining a mortgage is the only reason to acquire an appraisal, but there are more times when the services of a certified, independent real estate professional could be helpful.

Getting rid of your PMI will lower your mortgage payment

Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is a supplemental insurance policy that nearly all lenders ask homeowners to purchase when the amount being loaned to the home owner is more than 80% of the actual value of the property. This additional payment is often lumped into the monthly mortgage payment and is soon forgotten. This is bad because PMI isn't necessary when the remainder of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - falls below the 80% level. In fact, the United States Congress implemented a law in 1998 (the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998) that requires lenders to remove the PMI installments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met.

If you'd like to eliminate PMI, Executive Appraisal Solutions, LLC. will provide you with a statement regarding the value of your home. The expense of the appraisal can generally be recovered in little time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.

Divorce settlement with less stress

A divorce can be a very traumatic event for both parties, and it is often more complicated by the difficult decision of who maintains the house. It's a good idea to order an appraisal from Executive Appraisal Solutions, LLC. so both parties are entirely aware of the true market value of their property, regardless of the circumstances.

The parties will have a better idea 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 received a fair evaluation.

Trustworthy estate liquidation

Losing 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, guaranteeing the fullest degree of discretion.

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

A professional appraisal can help you make a more informed decision regarding your selling price, whether you decide to sell your home on your own or with the help of a real estate agent. Unlike a real estate agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. The price we charge isn't contingent upon the value we report, but rather they depend on our efforts to complete the appraisal.

On a daily basis, we determine the difference in value things like an extra bathroom or a kitchen remodel can make. And we're experts in knowing how long homes stay on the market. So, obtaining a professional appraisal is a reliable way to determine what improvements will add value and what an applicable sales price is for your home so you don't come up short or have your house on the market too long, costing you time and money.
