Why you should get an appraisal from SAMRYLEX Real Estate Appraisals and Consulting ServicesTo many, an appraisal is simply one more thing in the long list of items for a home purchase or refinance. While there are a multiplying number of automated home valuation methods that may appear to be less expensive than an appraisal, nearly 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 to get an appraisal, but there are other situations when the services of a licensed, independent real estate professional might be helpful.

PMI removal to lower your mortgage paymentPrivate Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is an added insurance policy that almost all lenders ask buyers to buy when the amount being loaned to the home owner is more than 80% of the actual value of the property. Oftentimes, this additional payment is lumped into the monthly mortgage payment and is promptly forgotten. PMI is no longer required when the leftover balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - goes below the 80% level, making this very unfortunate. In fact, the United States Congress passed 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. If you'd like to eliminate PMI, SAMRYLEX Real Estate Appraisals and Consulting Services will provide you with a statement regarding the value of your home. The cost of the appraisal can generally be regained in just a few months because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.
