Some of the most popular services we provide include property tax challenges. Oftentimes the tax assessor’s valuation ends up on the high end of the scale. In fact, challenging the assessment has become an annual ritual for many Americans across the country. While many of these people come in relatively unarmed, a real estate appraiser can make sure you have all the info and paperwork you need to lower the valuation. In many circumstances you do not even need a full appraisal, they may not even be economical. A limited appraisal, or neighborhood analysis are much more cost effective and these documents do carry a lot of weight to the appeals board.

Another situation when an appraisal is a good idea is when the remaining balance of your loan dips below 80% of the value of the home you can get an appraisal for removing private mortgage insurance. The additional payment for private mortgage insurance is often combined with the monthly mortgage payment and forgotten. You can save a ton of money by hiring an appraiser to prove that  your remaining balance is below the 80% level. Many appraisers actually offer a specific service for homeowners that belive they have met the 80% loan to value metric. The nominal fee that many charge can be made up within a few months of not having the PMI hanging over your head.
