Let Premier Appraisals, Inc. attend to your appraisal needsTo a lot of people, an appraisal just looks like another fee on the settlement sheet for a mortgage or refinance. And even though there are a developing number of automated home valuation methods that might appear more practical than an appraisal, nearly all lenders still need a local expert because the stakes are incredibly high. You might think that getting a mortgage is the only reason to acquire an appraisal, but there are more instances when the services of a certified, independent real estate professional might be helpful.

PMI removal to reduce a mortgage paymentWhen the amount being loaned to the homeowneris more than 80% of the actual value of the home, most lenders ask home buyers to take out this additional insurance plan. That policy is Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI. Oftentimes, this additional payment is folded into the monthly mortgage payment and is soon forgotten. PMI isn't required when the leftover balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - falls below the 80% level, making this very unfavorable. In fact, the Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) of 1998 was implemented by the United States Congress that requires lenders to dismiss the PMI payments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met. If you'd like to get rid of PMI, Premier Appraisals, Inc. can provide you with a statement regarding the value of your home. The cost of the appraisal can usually be recovered in little time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI. Get your appraisal from Premier Appraisals, Inc.

Determine an accurate and fair valuation for estate liquidationThe loss of a loved one is a difficult time in life, and settling an estate from a death, or probate, often requires an appraisal to establish Fair Market Value for the residential property involved. We guarantee the maximum degree of discretion, as we're bound with confidentiality by the ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). Unlike wealthier individuals, most Americans do not have dedicated estate planners or executors to handle these matters. A home or other property often makes up an uneven share of the total estate value, so understanding the true worth of the real estate at hand is of significant importance to ensuring disputing parties walk away knowing they've received a fair deal. Relocate to or from Suffolk County through an employee relocation programWe are aware of the stress associated with an employee relocation. We take great care in establishing an accommodating appointment time for the appraisal inspection. We encourage relocating employees to provide feedback on the positive features of their property, along with information regarding any new sales or listings in their area that they want considered during our intensive inspection. Sell your home promptly — at the right priceA professional appraisal can help you make a better educated decision when determining your selling price, whether you want to sell your home on your own or with the help of a real estate agent. Apart from a real estate agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what price the house sells for. Our fees are based on our efforts to complete the appraisal report and not a percentage of the sales price. We examine the difference in value things like an extra bathroom or a kitchen remodel can make on a daily basis. Getting a professional appraisal is a reliable way to determine what improvements will add value and what an appropriate sales price is for your home so you don't come up short or have your house on the market an unnecessarily long time, because we're experts in knowing how long homes stay on the market.
