Questions
What is a real estate appraisal?

Why do I need an appraisal for a mortgage?
Lenders require appraisals to ensure the property value supports the loan amount, protecting both the lender and borrower from overpayment risks.
How does PMI removal work?
We assess your home's current value to determine if your loan-to-value ratio is below 80%, allowing you to request PMI cancellation and reduce monthly payments.

Yes, appraisals provide unbiased property valuations to facilitate fair asset division during divorce settlements.
How long does an appraisal take?
Most residential appraisals are completed within 3-5 business days after inspection, depending on property complexity and data availability.
