Why you should hire an appraiser

To a lot of people, an appraisal is simply one more thing in the long list of items for a mortgage or refinance. Practically all lenders still call in a local expert because the stakes are incredibly high, even though there are a developing number of automated home valuation methods that may appear to be cheaper than an appraisal. You might assume that obtaining a mortgage is the only reason to get an appraisal, but there are more cases when the services of a licensed, independent real estate professional could be helpful.

PMI removal will lower your mortgage payment

Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is a supplemental insurance policy that almost all lenders ask homeowners to purchase when the amount being loaned to the home buyer is more than 80% of the actual value of the home. Since the additional payment is usually lumped into the monthly mortgage payment, it is often forgotten. PMI isn't necessary when the leftover balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - decreases below the 80% mark, making this very unfortunate. In fact, the Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) of 1998 was approved by the United States Congress requiring lenders to dismiss the PMI payments when the balance is paid down to 78% of the original value.

If you'd like to get rid of PMI, Holliday Inc. 702-463-6477 will provide you with a statement regarding the value of your home. The price you paid for the appraisal can usually be offset in just a few months because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.

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

Settling an estate with peace of mind

The loss of a loved one is a difficult time in life, and settling an estate from a death, or probate, often calls for an appraisal to establish Market Value for the real estate involved. The ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds us with confidentiality, ensuring the maximum degree of discretion.

Most Americans do not have dedicated estate planners or executors to take care of these affairs, unlike wealthy individuals. 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.
