What is an Appraisal?
A real estate appraisal is the process of developing an unbiased opinion of value for real property.  The preparation of an appraisal involves market area research, analysis of the subject property and the knowledge, experience, and judgment of an appraiser.
  
An appraisal is an unbiased estimate of the true value 
What is the role of an Appraiser?
An Appraiser provides a professional, unbiased opinion of market value, to be used in making real estate decisions. All lenders order an appraisal during the mortgage loan process so that there is an objective way to assess the home’s market value and ensure that the amount of loan  is appropriate.
Why get an Appraisal?
Appraisals are required whenever real property is sold, mortgaged, taxed, insured, or developed. Typical reasons to get an appraisal include mortgage lending purposes, tax assessments, tax appeals and buyer/seller negotiations.

  4. PMI Removal
    Private Mortgage Insurance is required when the amount being loaned is more than 80% of the value of the home. PMI becomes unnecessary when the remaining balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal paydown - dips below this 80% level. An appraisal can establish when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met.
  5. Estate Planning, Liquidation or Divorce
    These events are often complicated by difficult decisions regarding the disposition of an estate. Where property is involved, the appraiser can help determine the true value.
