Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Bostick Appraisal Service are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It's something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Bostick Appraisal Service is experts in helping consumers just like you rid yourselves of unnecessary PMI insurance.

Getting an expert appraisal from Bostick Appraisal Service is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.
