Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting a professional appraisal from Sauter Appraisal, LLC is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.
