Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at AAA-Appraisal Co., will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers. It's something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value judgement than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're experienced in helping clients just like you abolish unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Kent county's assessment of your property

Lets say you live in an area that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. The faster you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an expert appraisal from AAA-Appraisal Co. is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is close to a declining area. This can this be troublesome from a cash flow point of view, and unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An appraisal from AAA-Appraisal Co. can help you reinstate your HELOC.
