Why you should order an appraisal from All State Appraisal Partners, Inc.

To a lot of people, an appraisal is simply one more thing on the break-sheet for a home purchase or refinance. And while there are a growing number of automated home valuation systems that may seem more cost-effective than an appraisal, nearly all lenders still call in a local expert because the stakes are very high. Is getting a mortgage the only reason to acquire an appraisal? Are there additional cases when the services of a licensed, independent real estate professional could be helpful? Absolutely.

Divorce settlement with less stress

A divorce can be a particularly traumatic ordeal for both parties, and it is often even more complicated by the hard decision of who gets the house. It's a good idea to order an appraisal from All State Appraisal Partners, Inc. so both parties are fully aware of the true market value of their home, regardless of the circumstances.

If the parties wish to sell the home, they'll have a better idea of what price to set. And if a "buyout" is the chosen option, both parties will feel like they've received a fair assessment.

Determine a fair and accurate valuation for estate liquidation

The death of a loved one is a difficult time in life, and settling an estate from a death, or probate, often calls for an appraisal to establish Fair Market Value for the real estate involved. The ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds us with confidentiality, guaranteeing the utmost degree of discretion.

Unlike many wealthy individuals, most Americans don't have dedicated estate planners or executors to handle these issues. And since a home or other property often makes up an unequal share of the total estate value, understanding the true value of the real estate at hand is of vital importance to ensuring disputing parties leave knowing they've received a fair deal.

Move to or from Iredell County through an employee relocation program

Employee relocation is a stressful event, and we understand. That's why we take great care in establishing an accommodating appointment time for the appraisal inspection.

Sell your home quickly — for the right price

Whether you decide to sell your home on your own or use the assistance of a real estate agent, a professional appraisal can help you make a better educated decision when determining your asking price. Apart from a real estate agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Our fees aren't related to the sales price, but rather they are calculated on our efforts to finish the appraisal report.

We analyze the difference in value things like an extra bathroom or a kitchen remodel can make on a daily basis. Obtaining a professional appraisal is a trusted way to decide what improvements will add value and what a suitable sales price is for your home so you don't come up short or have your house on the market an unnecessarily long time, because we're experts in knowing how long homes are one the market.
