The professional appraisers at Alaska Realty & Appraisal Group, LLC will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract interested buyers.

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

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We're seasoned in helping clients just like you get rid of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

If you live in a region that is going down or not appreciating as much as other homes close by, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. The earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an expert appraisal from Alaska Realty & Appraisal Group, LLC is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.
