Contact the financing professionals at AZ Appraisal Group for more information.

Appraisal Reviews
Quality assurance is very important in any industry. With increasing scrutiny from all areas of government, it is becoming more important to know the appraisal reports obtained not only accurately reflect value, but meeting all State, Federal, and other guidelines. If you are looking for accurate reviews that clearly communicate the quality of the appraisal report in question, you’ll want to contact the AZ Appraisal Group. Our staff has performed reviews for companies throughout the US.

Compliance with USPAP Appraisal Standards, as well as FIRREA, FDIC, OCC, OTC, OTS, and the Federal Reserve Regulation 12 CFR 564.4, is a priority. We also provide Field Reviews and Desk Reviews.

We are licensed as Certified General Appraisers — the highest level licensing obtainable from the State Board of Appraisal. We are also designated with the Appraisal Institute for both residential and commercial properties (SRA & MAI designations). Why pay for anything less?

Eliminating PMI Coverage
If you put less than 20% cash down when you purchased your home, you were probably required to purchase Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) by the lender. This insurance may add from $25 to $100 or more to your monthly payment.

You may remove this insurance if you can prove the equity in your home exceeds 20% of its current value. With the significant appreciation we have experienced over the last several years, it is more than likely you can qualify. This is where we can help.

We can provide an independent appraisal of your home which is what the mortgage holder will require to eliminate your PMI. You then simply send a copy of the appraisal to your lender and begin saving on your monthly payments.
PMI protects the lender in case of default on your loan. It does not provide you with any insurance protection. So there is no advantage in keep paying those monthly premiums.

Please contact the PMI professionals at AZ Appraisal Group today for more information!

Purchasing or Selling a Home
If you are looking to buy or sell a home, you will probably require an appraisal to determine what your home (or potential home) is really worth.

If you are buying a home, you are most likely making the biggest investment in your life. You want to make sure that you are paying a reasonable price for your home. The cost of an appraisal is minimal in comparison to your potential investment. If you do purchase the home, the appraisal can also most likely assist you with your financing.

If you are selling a home, you want to be sure your listing price is in the range of other homes in the area. With the significant appreciation we have had in recent years, you don’t want to underestimate the value of your home.

Having an appraisal is also a good marketing tool because it gives potential buyers peace of mind when deciding to purchase. The appraisal can most likely be used to assist the buyer with their financing.

Please contact the appraisal professionals at AZ Appraisal Group today for more information.

Property Tax Reduction
With the significant increase in property values in recent years, we have also seen large increases in assessed values by the County Tax Assessor’s Office. This has caused property taxes to rise dramatically.

AZ Appraisal Group can determine if your taxes are too high and formulate a plan of action for lowering them. Property taxes can also be high due to factors other than high assessed values. Inaccurate building sizes, incorrect parcel sizes, wrong classifications, as well as other factors, can produce erroneous property taxes.

We are also one of the few appraisal companies that are approved to perform appeals in the Arizona Tax Court.

Please contact the property tax professionals at AZ Appraisal Group today for more information.

Electronic Reports
Our company has the ability to submit reports not only through Adobe Acrobat., but as well as MISMO and ENV files.

Adobe Acrobat, however, converts the appraisal file to a PDF. The recipient then opens the file with Adobe Acrobat Reader. The form appears exactly as it was created originally. No direct editing can be done by the recipient and, when it is printed, it looks just as if you printed from your own software. Both of these conversion programs have reader software where the file can only be read.

MISMO and ENV files are used by the lending community and we use both in a UAD formatted report to accommodate our clients.

Please contact the appraisal professionals at AZ Appraisal Group today for more information.
