Reasons someone would use the services of Rogue Appraisers, Inc.

To a lot of us, an appraisal just looks like one more thing on the settlement sheet for a home sale or refinance. Nearly all lenders still want a local expert because the stakes are very high, even though there are a multiplying number of automated home valuation systems that may seem more practical than an appraisal. But is obtaining a mortgage the only basis for getting an appraisal? Are there also times when the services of a certified, independent real estate professional could be helpful? Absolutely.

Let Rogue Appraisers, Inc. help you eliminate PMI to lower your mortgage payment

When the amount being loaned to the homeowner is more than 80% of the actual value of the home, most lenders ask home owners to purchase an added insurance plan. That policy is Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI. Since the added payment is usually bundled into the monthly mortgage payment, it is often forgotten. PMI is unnecessary when the remaining balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - falls below the 80% mark, making this very unfavorable. In fact, the United States Congress invoked a law in 1998 (the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998) that requires lenders to eliminate the PMI installments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met.

Rogue Appraisers, Inc. will provide you with a statement regarding the value of your home, and the price you paid for the home valuation can often be offset in little time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.

Settling a divorce with less stress

A divorce is often complicated by the strenuous decision of who gets the house, and it can be an especially heartbreaking occurrence for both parties. It's a good idea to order an appraisal from Rogue Appraisers, Inc. so both parties are completely aware of the true market value of their house, regardless of the situation.

The parties will have a better 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.

Accurate and fair estate liquidation

The death 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 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.

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