Refinance and Equity Take Out Home Appraisals
When you refinance, accuracy matters. We provide independent, professionally supported residential valuations used for refinancing, equity access, debt consolidation, lender switches, and financial planning across the GTA and surrounding areas.
Our appraisals help homeowners unlock equity with confidence and give lenders the clarity they need to move approvals forward.
Refinancing is one of the most effective ways to improve cash flow, reduce monthly payments, or unlock equity for renovations and investments. But everything starts with an accurate, unbiased appraisal.
A refinance appraisal confirms your current market value, your loan to value position, and how much equity is accessible. It also gives lenders the documentation required to approve your refinance, renewal, or equity request.
Advanced Appraisals delivers refinance and equity take out valuations that are independent, standards compliant, and trusted by homeowners, mortgage brokers, lenders, and financial professionals across the GTA and surrounding areas.
Financing depends on clarity. Lenders base decisions on risk, market conditions, and the quality of the valuation in front of them. A strong mortgage appraisal helps:
- Confirm market value for financing
• Support refinance, renewal, or restructuring decisions
• Provide clarity for private lenders and MICs
• Speed up underwriting approval timelines
• Reduce unnecessary back and forth
• Anchor HELOC qualification
• Support equity take outs for renovations, investments, or planning
Every report includes market data, comparable grids, commentary, photos, and an independently prepared estimate of value.
