Reasons for Appraisal

Whether you are purchasing, refinancing, or tapping into your home’s equity, our appraisal services can assist you and your lender in determining the market value assessment of your home quickly and efficiently. All of our appraisers are licensed by the state of Texas, ensuring accurate property valuation.

Unfortunate circumstances sometimes necessitate a market value assessment of real estate for legal matters such as divorce, separation, or estate planning. During these times, you want accurate appraisal services that reflect the true current market value of the property, ensuring a fair property valuation.

Each year, county appraisal districts tend to raise the tax values on real estate, resulting in many individuals facing inflated tax bills. With our appraisal services, we can provide an accurate property valuation for your home. This market value assessment will not only help with the current year’s taxes but will also benefit you in the years to come.

Many times, when a home is financed with less than 20% equity, the lender will require a type of insurance known as Private Mortgage Insurance or PMI. Over time, the market value assessment of your home may appreciate. Coupling this appreciation with your monthly payments can increase your overall equity in the home to at or above the required 20%. At this point, canceling the PMI becomes a simple process of submitting appraisal services that reflect this new property valuation. For instance, if your home is worth $200,000 and you only owe $160,000, you are now below the 80% threshold and most likely eligible to remove your PMI.
