Why would you need an appraisal from AccuRight Appraisals?

To a lot of us, an appraisal just looks like one more thing in the long list of items for a mortgage or refinance. Even though there are a budding number of automated home valuation methods that may appear to be cheaper than an appraisal, most lenders still call for a local expert because the stakes are so high. But is obtaining a mortgage the only reason to acquire an appraisal? Are there also situations when the services of a licensed, independent real estate professional could be beneficial? Of course.

How can you eliminate PMI to lower your mortgage payment?

Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is an extra insurance plan that most lenders ask home buyers to buy when the amount being loaned to the home owner is more than 80% of the actual value of the real estate. Oftentimes, this additional payment is bundled into the monthly mortgage payment and is promptly forgotten. This is bad because PMI is unnecessary when the remaining balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - dips below the 80% level. In fact, the United States Congress invoked a law in 1998 (the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998) requiring lenders to do away with the PMI installments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met.

If you'd like to eliminate PMI, AccuRight Appraisals can provide you with a statement regarding the value of your home. The price you paid for the appraisal can generally be recovered in just a few months because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.

Accurate and fair estate liquidation with AccuRight AppraisalsSettling an estate

Losing a loved one is a hard time in life, and settling an estate from a death, or probate, often calls for 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.

Most Americans don't have dedicated estate planners or executors to handle these affairs, unlike many wealthy individuals. And since a home or other property often makes up an uneven share of the total estate value, understanding the certain value of the real estate at hand is of vital importance to ensuring disputing parties leave knowing they've received a fair deal.

A professional appraisal can help you make a better educated decision when determining your asking price, whether you want to sell your home on your own or with the help of a real estate agent.

We determine the difference in value items like an extra bathroom or a kitchen remodel can make on a daily basis. Seeking a professional appraisal is a reliable way to decide what improvements will add value and what a suitable sales price is for your home - so you don't come up short or have your house on the market an unnecessarily long time - because we're experts in knowing how long homes stay on the market.
