Why you should order an appraisal from Herrin Appraisal CompanyTo many, an appraisal just looks like one more thing on the break-sheet for a home purchase or refinance. And even though there are a multiplying number of automated home valuation processes that might appear more cost-effective than an appraisal, most lenders still call in a local expert because the stakes are very high. Is getting a mortgage the only reason to get an appraisal? Are there also instances when the services of a certified, independent real estate professional might come in handy? You bet.

An appraisal from Herrin Appraisal Company is your best evidence when building your case. We can assist you in challenging your tax assessment. Eliminate PMI to lower your mortgage paymentPrivate Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is a supplemental insurance plan that many lenders ask buyers to buy when the amount being loaned to the homeowner is more than 80% of the actual value of the property. This extra payment is often folded into the monthly mortgage payment and is soon forgotten. PMI isn't necessary when the leftover balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - decreases below the 80% level, making this very unfavorable. In fact, the Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) of 1998 was invoked by the United States Congress 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, Herrin Appraisal Company will give you a statement regarding the value of your home. The cost of the home valuation can usually be recovered in a short amount of time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.

We ensure the highest degree of discretion, as we're bound with confidentiality by the ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). Most Americans don't have dedicated estate planners or executors to manage these issues, unlike wealthier individuals.
