When an Appraisal Helps
There are many times when the services of a certified, state-licensed, independent appraiser are essential. Here are a few of the most common.
An appraisal provides an objective opinion of market value so you can make informed decisions when setting an asking price or making an offer.
Lenders typically require a current appraisal to support the loan amount for refinancing or home equity lines of credit.
A neutral, third-party opinion of value helps support fair settlements in divorce, estate, and probate situations.
Appraisals can help support appeals of assessed value and demonstrate when loan-to-value ratios may allow removal of Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI).
