Why you should order an appraisal from Tight & Right Real Estate Valuation

Each year, thousands of people in New Jersey buy, sell or refinance their home. A lot of these transactions consist of a simple line item for an appraisal. The majority of lenders still want a local expert because the stakes are incredibly high, even though there are a growing number of automated home valuation systems that might seem more cost-effective than an appraisal. You might assume that obtaining a mortgage is the only reason to acquire an appraisal, but there are additional cases when the services of a certified, independent real estate professional might be beneficial.

Contest your tax assessment in Union County

It's likely you're paying too much in property taxes if you reside in an area where property values have declined. Ad Valorem taxes are based upon a past assessment of your house, so if values are less than what they used to be in your area, you can challenge your assessment and save money. When building your case, an appraisal from us is your best evidence. At Tight & Right Real Estate Valuation, we're equipped to assist you in appealing your tax assessment.

PMI removal to reduce your mortgage payment

When the amount being loaned to the buyeris more than 80% of the actual value of the home, nearly all lenders ask homebuyers to take out this extra insurance plan. That policy is Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI. Most often, this additional payment is lumped into the monthly mortgage payment and is promptly forgotten. PMI is unnecessary when the leftover balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - dips below the 80% level, making this very unfavorable. In fact, the United States Congress implemented a law in 1998 (the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998) that requires lenders to remove the PMI installments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met.

If you'd like to do away with PMI, Tight & Right Real Estate Valuation can produce a statement regarding the value of your home. The expense of the home valuation can often be offset in little time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.

Unlike many wealthy individuals, most Americans do not have dedicated estate planners or executors to take care of these matters.
