We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are qualified in helping homeowners just like you delete unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging San Bernardino county's assessment of your property

Getting a professional appraisal from Pinnacle Appraisals is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

A professional appraisal from Pinnacle Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.
