It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at AAAnderson Associates Inc. are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers. It's something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value judgement than yours.

At AAAnderson Associates Inc., we're experts in helping homeowners just like you get rid of unwanted PMI insurance.
