It's very hard to be objective about your home because of your emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Belmont Appraisal Corporation will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

A fashionable way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated 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 less than 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We're experienced in helping homeowners just like you rid yourselves of unneeded PMI insurance.

Getting a professional appraisal from Belmont Appraisal Corporation is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.
