Why you should get an appraisal from Value Opinion LLC:

To a lot of us, an appraisal is simply a line item on the settlement sheet for a mortgage or refinance. Even though there are a developing number of automated home valuation processes that might appear to be less expensive than an appraisal, nearly all lenders still want a local expert because the stakes are very high. You might assume that securing a mortgage is the only reason you should get an appraisal, but there are more situations when the services of a certified, independent real estate professional might be helpful.

If you're planning on any transaction where the value of your real estate is a factor, just contact Value Opinion LLC. Just click here.

Value Opinion LLC. can help you eliminate PMI to lower your mortgage payment

Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is an added insurance plan that many lenders ask home owners to purchase when the amount being loaned to the home buyer is more than 80% of the actual value of the home. Seeing that added payment is usually folded into the monthly mortgage payment, it is often forgotten. PMI isn't required when the leftover balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - decreases below the 80% level, making this very unfavorable. In fact, the Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) of 1998 was implemented by the United States Congress requiring lenders to dismiss the PMI payments on most mortgages when the balance is paid down to 78% of the original value.

Value Opinion LLC. can produce a statement regarding the value of your home, and the price you paid for the home valuation can generally be regained in little time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.

Divorce settlement with less stress

A divorce is often complicated by the troublesome decision of who maintains the home, and it can be a particularly heartbreaking experience for both parties. So both parties are entirely aware of the true market value of their home, it's a good idea to get an appraisal from Value Opinion LLC, regardless of the circumstances.

The parties will have a clearer picture of what price to set, if they need to sell the home. And if a "buyout" is the chosen option, both parties will feel like they've received a fair assessment.

Settling an estate with peace of mind

The loss of a loved one is a hard 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.

Most Americans don't have dedicated estate planners or executors to take care of these matters, unlike wealthier individuals. And since a home or other property often makes up a disproportionate share of the total estate value, knowing the correct value of the real estate at hand is of significant importance to ensuring disputing parties walk away knowing they've received an honest deal.
