Reasons to order an appraisal from ASAP Appraisal Group
Thousands of people in Florida buy, sell or refinance their home each year. Many of these transactions consist of a simple line item for an appraisal.
Even though there are a developing number of automated home valuation methods that might appear more prudent than an appraisal, almost all lenders still want a local expert because the stakes are incredibly high.
You might believe that securing a mortgage is the only reason to acquire an appraisal, but there are other instances when the services of a licensed, independent real estate professional might come in handy.

Challenge your tax assessment in Polk County
It's likely you're paying too much in property taxes if you live in an area where property values have declined. Property taxes are determined by a previous assessment of your house, so if prices have declined in your neighborhood, you can challenge your assessment and save money.
An appraisal from ASAP Appraisal Group is your best evidence when building your case.
We're qualified to assist you in disputing your tax assessment.
ASAP Appraisal Group can help you eliminate PMI to lower your mortgage payment
When the amount being loaned to the home owner is more than 80% of the actual value of the real estate, nearly all lenders ask homebuyers to take out an added insurance plan. That policy is Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI.
This added payment is often folded into the monthly mortgage payment and is quickly forgotten.
PMI isn't required when the remainder of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - decreases 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) that requires lenders to remove the PMI payments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met.
If you'd like to eliminate PMI, ASAP Appraisal Group can produce a statement regarding the value of your home. The cost of the appraisal can usually be regained in just a few months because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.
Settling a divorce with less stress with an appraisal from ASAP Appraisal Group
A divorce is an especially daunting event for the parties involved, and it is often even more complicated by the strenuous decision of who keeps the home.
So both parties are completely aware of the true market value of their house, it's a good idea to get an appraisal from ASAP Appraisal Group, regardless of the circumstances.
If the parties want 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 assessment.
Trustworthy 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 residential property involved.
The ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds us with confidentiality, ensuring the highest degree of discretion.
Unlike many wealthy individuals, most Americans do not have dedicated estate planners or executors to manage these issues.
And since a home or other property often makes up an uneven share of the total estate value, knowing the true value of the real estate at hand is of essential importance to ensuring disputing parties walk away knowing they've received a fair deal.
