It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at South Shore Realty Advisors, Inc will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer.

Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to cut expenses for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We are experienced in helping people just like you dismiss unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

The quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An expert appraisal from South Shore Realty Advisors, Inc is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.
