Professional appraisers, like the ones at Satchell Real Property Services, are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, not just you saying how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

At Satchell Real Property Services, we're veterans in helping people just like you do away with unneeded PMI insurance.
