            BUYERS BEWARE, FANNIE MAE IS NOW OFFERING "VALUE ACCEPTANCE" IN PLACE OF A TRADITIONAL APPRAISAL. Value Acceptance by 
            their standards not by market value standards. Do not be lulled into a false sense of security by the Banks and Fannie Mae. Get your own Appraisal. 
            We ARE your advocate in this scenario. We are the only NEUTRAL party to this transaction and you need to advocate for yourselves! If you are 
            told that there will be no Appraisal for either a Refinance or a SALE you have the RIGHT to order one for yourself directly from the Appraiser of 
            your choice. In this ever changing market this will be the smartest financial decision you can make.  CALL or get a Quote Today!

We can also provide appraisal services to REMOVE your PMI (private mortgage insurance). Values rose significantly in past few years and if you purchased during this time you may have enough equity to have your PMI removed. Call us today for details as you CAN pick your own Appraiser do conduct this appraisal for your lender.
Retrospective Appraisal Services: We can provide the Date of Death Valuation for your tax accountant. Otherwise known as retrospective appraisal services. We provide value as of the date of death of the owner, so that when you go to sell you have a basis point for any possible capital gains taxes that will have to be paid. Do not wait years to have this done as the process could be more difficult and may not work in your favor if you have to rely on TAX Assessment values.

Our Specialties & Experience Include:


Lake Lanier, Private Party Appraisals (Pre-Listing & Sale Appraisals). We work with Buyers and Sellers regularly who order their own appraisals for peace of mind before placing their home on the market or before placing an offer on a home. 
 Pre-Listing or Listing Appraisals are worth their weight in Gold and should be  included as part of the Home Selling Preparation Process.

A Pre-Listing Appraisal is just as  important as updating your home  with new paint, carpet, appliances, etc. before you put it on the market. The best money you can spend is for a pre-listing appraisal as you can use it for setting a realistic listing price, negotiations when an offer comes in and it can also be given to the bank Appraiser when they come calling.

Lanier Appraisal Service is Number 1 Real Estate Appraiser in the State of Georgia on Active Rain.
 Number 2 Female Appraiser in the Entire Country. Almost 2,500 Appraisers have a blog on Active Rain and almost 165,000 Realtors have blogs on this very large Real Estate Related Blogging Website.
