Ordering an appraisal from Andreas D. Taylor, LLC

To many, an appraisal is simply a line item on the break-sheet for a home sale or refinance. Practically all lenders still want a local expert because the stakes are so high, even though there are a growing number of automated home valuation systems that might appear to be more economical than an appraisal. You might think that securing a mortgage is the only reason to get an appraisal, but there are more cases when the services of a certified, independent real estate professional might be beneficial.

Let Andreas D. Taylor, LLC assist you in lowering your mortgage payment

Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is a supplemental insurance plan that most lenders ask homeowners to purchase when the amount being loaned to the homeowner is more than 80% of the actual value of the property. More often than not, this added payment is folded into the monthly mortgage payment and is quickly forgotten. This is bad because PMI is no longer required when the remainder of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - goes below the 80% level. In fact, the United States Congress invoked a law in 1998 (the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998) requiring lenders to do away with the PMI payments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met.

If you'd like to do away with PMI, Andreas D. Taylor, LLC will produce a statement regarding the value of your home. The expense of the appraisal can often be offset in a short amount of time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.

Accurate and fair estate liquidation with help from Andreas D. Taylor, LLCSettling an estate

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 Market Value for the real estate involved. The ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds us with confidentiality, guaranteeing the maximum degree of discretion.

Unlike wealthy individuals, most Americans do not have dedicated estate planners or executors to manage these matters. A home or other property often makes up a disproportionate share of the total estate value, so knowing the true value of the real estate at hand is of essential importance to ensuring disputing parties walk away knowing they've gotten an honest deal.

Selling your home quickly at the right price

We examine the difference in value things like an additional bathroom or a kitchen remodel can make on a daily basis. And we're experts in knowing how long houses stay on the market.
