Reasons to get an appraisal from JWD Appraisal service LLC.To a lot of people, an appraisal just looks like another fee on the settlement sheet for a home sale or refinance.

Is getting a mortgage the only reason you should get an appraisal? Are there more cases when the services of a certified, independent real estate professional could come in handy?

Eliminating PMI for mortgage paymentsWhen the amount being loaned to the homeowneris more than 80% of the actual value of the property, most lenders ask homebuyers to purchase this supplemental insurance policy. That policy is Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI. Since the extra payment is usually folded into the monthly mortgage payment, it is often forgotten. This is damaging because PMI is unnecessary when the leftover balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - decreases 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 eliminate the PMI payments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met. If you'd like to do away with PMI, JWD Appraisal service LLC. will provide you with a statement regarding the value of your home. The expense of the appraisal can often be recovered in a short amount of time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI. Get your appraisal from JWD Appraisal service LLC.
