There are many reasons to order an appraisal.  Do you need an appraisal for mortgage financing, either a purchase or a refinance? Do you need removal of private mortgage insurance, (PMI)? Are you “For Sale by Owner,” (FSBO) and need to know fair market value before putting your home or property on the market?  Do you need accurate measurements after a home improvement or addition of a living area or square footage?  Did you inherit an estate due to a death in the family or as a gift and need to know fair market value at time/date of death or for tax and estate planning purposes?  Do you need to know if your home improvements will affect your homes marketability?  Are you getting a divorce and need to have your home or property valued for liquidation or for equal shares of equity or for a buy out? 

All of these reasons and more are why you need the services of a state licensed and certified residential appraiser.  The Real Estate market in Southern California is rapidly changing and you need an appraiser that is knowledgeable, educated and aware of what is happening in your Southern California neighborhood and can provide accurate and fair market analysis of your home or residential property.
