Let Young Appraisal Company, Inc. serve your appraisal needsTo many, an appraisal just looks like another fee on the break-sheet for a home purchase or refinance. And while there are a multiplying number of automated home valuation methods that might seem more cost-effective than an appraisal, most lenders still want a local expert because the stakes are incredibly high. Is securing a mortgage the only reason you should get an appraisal? Are there also times when the services of a licensed, independent real estate professional could come in handy? Absolutely.

PMI removal to reduce a mortgage paymentPrivate Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is an added insurance policy that many lenders ask homebuyers to buy when the amount being loaned to the homeowner is more than 80% of the actual value of the home. Since the extra payment is usually folded into the monthly mortgage payment, it is often forgotten. This is bad because PMI isn't necessary when the remaining balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - falls below the 80% mark. In fact, the United States Congress implemented a law in 1998 (the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998) that requires lenders to remove the PMI installments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met. If you'd like to get rid of PMI, Young Appraisal Company, Inc. can produce a statement regarding the value of your home. The price you paid for the home valuation can often be recovered in just a few months because you'll no longer be paying the PMI. Order an appraisal from Young Appraisal Company, Inc.
