At Skidmore Associates LLC, we understand the individual needs of a customer in need of appraisal services.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By OwnerSince you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Skidmore Associates LLC, are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price -- not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value conclusion than yours. Appraisals to cancel PMIAn attractive way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We are veterans in helping customers just like you do away with unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.
