Getting an appraisal from Titan Valuation, LLC.

To many, an appraisal is simply one more thing on the settlement sheet for a home purchase or refinance.

But is getting a mortgage the only reason to acquire an appraisal? Are there other situations when the services of a licensed, independent real estate professional might come in handy? You bet there are.

Let Titan Valuation, LLC. help you lower your mortgage payment

When the amount being loaned to the home buyer is more than 80% of the actual value of the property, almost all lenders ask homebuyers to take out an extra insurance policy. That policy is Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI. This extra payment is often lumped into the monthly mortgage payment and is soon forgotten. This is unfavorable because PMI is no longer required when the leftover balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - falls below the 80% mark. In fact, the United States Congress invoked a law in 1998 (the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998) that requires lenders to eliminate the PMI payments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met.

Titan Valuation, LLC. can provide you with a statement regarding the value of your home, and the price you paid for the appraisal can usually be regained in a short amount of time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.

Settling a divorce with less stress

A divorce is often complicated by the strenuous decision of who gets the property, and it can be an especially traumatic event for both parties. It's a good idea to get an appraisal from Titan Valuation, LLC. so both parties are fully aware of the true market value of their property, regardless of the circumstances.

If the parties want to sell the home, they'll have a clearer picture 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.

Settling an estate with peace of mind

The death of a loved one is a hard 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. The ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds us with confidentiality, ensuring the fullest degree of discretion.

Most Americans don't have dedicated estate planners or executors to handle these issues, unlike wealthier individuals. 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 gotten a fair deal.

A professional appraisal will help you make a better educated decision when determining your asking price, whether you choose to sell your home on your own or with the help of a real estate agent.

We determine the difference in value items like an additional bathroom or a kitchen remodel can make on a daily basis.
