Let Burwan Appraisal Services handle your appraisal needs

Year after year, thousands of people in Florida buy, sell or refinance their home. A lot of these transactions include a simple line item for an appraisal. And while there are an increasing number of automated home valuation systems that may appear less expensive than an appraisal, practically all lenders still call for a local expert because the stakes are so high. Is obtaining a mortgage the only basis for getting an appraisal? Are there also instances when the services of a certified, independent real estate professional might come in handy? Of course.

PMI removal to lower a mortgage payment

Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is an added insurance plan that many lenders ask buyers to buy when the amount being loaned to the homeowner is more than 80% of the actual value of the real estate. This additional payment is often folded into the monthly mortgage payment and is quickly forgotten. PMI isn't necessary when the remainder of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - dips below the 80% level, making this very unfavorable. In fact, the United States Congress implemented a law in 1998 (the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998) requiring lenders to do away with the PMI installments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met.

Burwan Appraisal Services can produce a statement regarding the value of your home, and the expense of the home valuation can generally be recovered in a short amount of time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.

Get a fair valuation on a home take make a divorce settlement less stressful

A divorce is often complicated by the strenuous decision of who gets the property, and it can be a very horrible event for both parties. Regardless of the circumstances, it's a good idea to get an appraisal from Burwan Appraisal Services so both parties are fully aware of the true market value of their house.

The parties will have a better idea of what price to set, if they want to sell the home. And on the flip side, if a "buyout" is the chosen option, both parties will feel like they've gotten a fair assessment.

Ascertain an accurate and fair valuation for estate liquidation

The loss of a loved one is a painful time in life, and settling an estate from a death, or probate, often calls for an appraisal to establish Fair Market Value for the real estate involved. The ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds us with confidentiality, ensuring the fullest degree of discretion.

Unlike wealthier individuals, most Americans do not have dedicated estate planners or executors to handle these issues. And seeing that a home or other property often makes up an unequal share of the total estate value, knowing the true worth of the real estate at hand is of vital importance to ensuring disputing parties walk away knowing they've received a fair deal.

Our fees are calculated on our efforts to complete the appraisal report and and aren't related to the sales price.

On a daily basis, we determine the difference in value items like an extra bathroom or a kitchen remodel can make.
