Let Young Appraisal Company, Inc. attend to your appraisal needs

To a lot of us, an appraisal is simply another fee in the long list of items for a mortgage or refinance. The majority of lenders still need a local expert because the stakes are incredibly high, even though there are an increasing number of automated home valuation methods that may appear more cost-effective than an appraisal. You might think that getting a mortgage is the only reason to get an appraisal, but there are additional times when the services of a licensed, independent real estate professional might come in handy.

Contest your tax assessment

Eliminate PMI to lower your mortgage payment

When the amount being loaned to the buyeris more than 80% of the actual value of the property, almost all lenders ask homebuyers to purchase this added insurance policy. That policy is Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI. Seeing that added payment is usually lumped into the monthly mortgage payment, it is often forgotten. This is unfavorable because PMI is unnecessary when the leftover balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - dips below the 80% mark. In fact, the United States Congress invoked 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.

Young Appraisal Company, Inc. will provide you with a statement regarding the value of your home, and the expense of the home valuation can often be offset in little time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.

Settle a divorce with less stress

It's a good idea to get an appraisal from Young Appraisal Company, Inc. so both parties are entirely aware of the true market value of their property, regardless of the situation.

The parties will have a good 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 gotten a fair assessment.

Ascertain an accurate and fair valuation for 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 Fair 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 utmost degree of discretion.

Most Americans don't have dedicated estate planners or executors to take care of these matters, unlike many wealthy individuals. A home or other property often makes up an uneven share of the total estate value, so knowing the true value of the real estate at hand is of significant importance to ensuring disputing parties walk away knowing they've received a fair deal.

A professional appraisal can help you make a better educated decision regarding your selling price, whether you decide to sell your home on your own or use the assistance of a real estate agent. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, apart from real estate agents. Our fees depend on our efforts to finish the appraisal report and not a percentage of the sales price.

On a daily basis, we examine the difference in value things like an additional bathroom or a kitchen remodel can make.
