There are lots of reasons consumers call on Perry Associates LLC

To a lot of us, an appraisal is simply one more thing in the long list of items for a home purchase or refinance. Almost all lenders still call in a local expert because the stakes are incredibly high, even though there are a growing number of automated home valuation methods that might appear to be more prudent than an appraisal. You might think that securing a mortgage is the only reason you should get an appraisal, but there are more times when the services of a licensed, independent real estate professional could be helpful.

Let Perry Associates LLC help you challenge your tax assessment in Ada County

Perry Associates LLC can help you get rid of PMI to lower your mortgage payment

When the amount being loaned to the home buyer is more than 80% of the actual value of the property, nearly all lenders ask homebuyers to take out an extra insurance policy. That policy is Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI. Since the added payment is usually bundled into the monthly mortgage payment, it is often forgotten. This is damaging because PMI becomes unnecessary when the remaining balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - dips below the 80% mark. In fact, the United States Congress implemented a law in 1998 (the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998) requiring lenders to dismiss the PMI payments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met.

If you'd like to get rid of PMI, Perry Associates LLC can provide you with a statement regarding the value of your home. The cost of the home valuation can usually be regained in just a few months because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.

Divorce settlement with less stress

A divorce is a very heartbreaking experience for the parties involved, and it is often further complicated by the difficult decision of who keeps the house. It's a good idea to get an appraisal from Perry Associates LLC so both parties are entirely aware of the true market value of their property, regardless of the circumstances.

The parties will have a good idea of what price to set, if they wish to sell the home. And if a "buyout" is the chosen option, both parties will feel like they've received a fair assessment.

Accurate and fair estate liquidation

Losing a loved one is a difficult time in life, and settling an estate from a death, or probate, often entails an appraisal to establish Market Value for the residential property involved. We ensure the fullest degree of discretion, as we're bound with confidentiality by the ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).

Unlike many wealthy individuals, most Americans do not have dedicated estate planners or executors to manage these matters. A home or other property often makes up an uneven share of the total estate value, so understanding the true value of the real estate at hand is of vital importance to ensuring disputing parties walk away knowing they've received a fair deal.

Let Perry Associates LLC help you with relocating to or from Ada County

Employee relocation is a more than just an inconvenience, and we understand. That's why we take great care in establishing a convenient appointment time for the appraisal inspection. During our thorough process, we suggest relocating employees to provide feedback on the positive features of their property, as well as information regarding any current sales or listings in their area that they want considered.

Sell your home quickly at the right price

Whether you want to sell your home on your own or use the assistance of a real estate agent, a professional appraisal can help you make a better educated decision regarding your selling price. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike real estate agents. The price we charge isn't contingent upon the value we report, but rather they depend on our efforts to complete the appraisal.

We analyze the difference in value things like an extra bathroom or a kitchen remodel can make on a daily basis. Obtaining a professional appraisal is a trusted way to decide what improvements will add value and what an appropriate sales price is for your home - so you don't come up short or have your house on the market an unnecessarily long time - because we're experts in knowing how long homes stay on the market.
