Reasons someone would need Mesquite Appraisal

Thousands of people in Nevada purchase, sell or refinance their home each year. Many of these transactions include a simple line item for an appraisal. Almost all lenders still call for a local expert because the stakes are so high, even though there are a budding number of automated home valuation systems that may appear more prudent than an appraisal. But is securing a mortgage the only reason you should get an appraisal? Are there more instances when the services of a certified, independent real estate professional could be helpful? You bet there are.

Let Mesquite Appraisal help you dispute your tax assessment in Clark County

It's quite possible you're paying too much in property taxes if you reside in an area where property values have declined. Property taxes are determined by a past assessment of your real estate, so if prices have declined in your area, you can challenge your assessment and save money. An appraisal from Mesquite Appraisal is your best evidence when building your case. We're capable of assisting you in disputing your tax assessment.

PMI removal will lower your mortgage payment

When the amount being loaned to the homeowner is more than 80% of the actual value of the property, most lenders ask buyers to buy an extra insurance policy. That policy is Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI. Seeing that extra payment is usually lumped into the monthly mortgage payment, it is often forgotten. This is bad because PMI isn't required when the leftover balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - goes below the 80% level. In fact, the Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) of 1998 was approved by the United States Congress that requires lenders to eliminate the PMI payments on most mortgages when the balance is paid down to 78% of the original value.

Mesquite Appraisal can produce a statement regarding the value of your home, and the price you paid for the appraisal can generally be recovered in a short amount of time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.

Settling a divorce with less stress

A divorce can be a particularly daunting ordeal for both parties, and it is often further complicated by the burdensome decision of who keeps the house. It's a good idea to get an appraisal from Mesquite Appraisal so both parties are completely aware of the true market value of their home, regardless of the circumstances.

If the parties need to sell the home, they'll have a better idea of what price to set. And on the flip side, if a "buyout" is the chosen option, both parties will feel like they've received a fair evaluation.

Accurate and fair estate liquidation

Losing a loved one is a difficult time in life, and settling an estate from a death, or probate, often calls for 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 highest degree of discretion.

Unlike wealthier individuals, most Americans do not have dedicated estate planners or executors to take care of these affairs. A home or other property often makes up an unequal share of the total estate value, so understanding the true value of the real estate at hand is of significant importance to ensuring disputing parties walk away knowing they've gotten an honest deal.

Let Mesquite Appraisal help you sell your home quickly at the right price

Whether you decide to sell your home on your own or with the help of a real estate agent, a professional appraisal can help you make a better educated decision when determining your asking price. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike real estate agents. The price we charge isn't contingent upon the value we come up with, but rather they are based on our efforts to finish the appraisal.

We determine the difference in value items like an additional bathroom or a kitchen remodel can make on a daily basis. And we're experts in knowing how long houses are on the market. So, getting a professional appraisal is a reliable way to decide what improvements will add value and what a suitable sales price is for your home so you don't come up short or have your house on the market too long, costing you time and money.
