Appeal your tax assessment

It's probable you're paying too much in property taxes if you reside in an area where property values have depreciated. Property taxes are determined by a previous assessment of your home, so if values are less than what they used to be in your neighborhood, you can appeal your assessment and save money.  When building your case, an appraisal from All Appraisals Express is your best evidence.  At All Appraisals Express,we can assist you in challenging your tax assessment.

How can you get rid of PMI to lower your mortgage payment?

Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is an additional insurance plan that almost all lenders ask home buyers to purchase when the amount being loaned to the home buyer is more than 80% of the actual value of the home.  This extra payment is often folded into the monthly mortgage payment and is promptly forgotten. This is unfavorable because PMI isn't required when the remainder of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - decreases below the 80% mark.  In fact, the United States Congress passed a law in 1998 (the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998) requiring lenders to dismiss the PMI installments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met.

If you'd like to do away with PMI, All Appraisals Express can provide you with a statement regarding the value of your home.  The price you paid for the appraisal can usually be offset in just a few months because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.

Fair and accurate estate liquidation with All Appraisals Express when settling an estate

The death of 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.  We guarantee the highest degree of discretion, as we're bound with confidentiality by the ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).

Most Americans do not have dedicated estate planners or executors to handle these affairs, unlike wealthy individuals.  And since a home or other property often makes up an uneven share of the total estate value, knowing the absolute value of the real estate at hand is of significant importance to ensuring disputing parties walk away knowing they've received a fair deal.
