Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Northwest Appraisals, Inc. are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value judgement than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

A preferred way to cut expenses for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. Northwest Appraisals, Inc. is qualified in helping folks just like you abolish undesirable PMI insurance.

When contesting your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Northwest Appraisals, Inc. is your strongest weapon.
