6 Reasons to choose an appraisal from All State Appraisal Partners, Inc.

To many, an appraisal is simply another fee in the long list of items for a home purchase or refinance. While there are a growing number of automated home valuation systems that may appear cheaper than an appraisal, practically all lenders still call for a local expert because the stakes are incredibly high. You might think that securing a mortgage is the only basis for getting an appraisal, but there are more situations when the services of a licensed, independent real estate professional might be helpful.

Settle a divorce with less stress

A divorce is often complicated by the difficult decision of who gets the home, and it can be a particularly daunting experience for both parties. It's a good idea to get an appraisal from All State Appraisal Partners, Inc. so both parties are entirely aware of the true market value of their home, regardless of the situation.

The parties will have a good idea of what price to set, if they want to sell the home. And if a "buyout" is the chosen option, both parties will feel like they've gotten a fair assessment.

Determine a fair and accurate valuation for estate liquidation

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

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

Sell your home promptly — for an accurate price

We examine the difference in value things like an additional bathroom or a kitchen remodel can make on a daily basis. Seeking a professional appraisal is a trusted way to determine 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 properties are one the market.
