Let American Appraisals, LLC. take care of your appraisal

To many, an appraisal just looks like another fee on the break-sheet for a home sale or refinance. And while there are an increasing number of automated home valuation methods that might appear to be less expensive than an appraisal, practically all lenders still call for a local expert because the stakes are so high. You might assume that securing a mortgage is the only reason you should get an appraisal, but there are more times when the services of a licensed, independent real estate professional might be helpful.

PMI removal to lower your mortgage payment

Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is a supplemental insurance policy that most lenders ask home buyers to buy when the amount being loaned to the home owner is more than 80% of the actual value of the real estate. Oftentimes, this added payment is bundled into the monthly mortgage payment and is soon forgotten. This is damaging because PMI is unnecessary when the leftover balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - dips below the 80% mark. In fact, the United States Congress invoked a law in 1998 (the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998) that requires lenders to remove the PMI payments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met.

American Appraisals, LLC. can produce a statement regarding the value of your home, and the cost of the home valuation can often be offset in just a few months because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.
