PMI Removal

PMI removal is an important service that appraisers provide. Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is typically required when a homebuyer’s down payment is less than 20% of the property’s value. As appraisers, we accurately assess the current value of the property and compare it to the outstanding loan balance. By demonstrating that the loan-to-value ratio has reached or fallen below 80%, we help homeowners eliminate the need for PMI. Our expertise in property valuation and market analysis ensures reliable appraisals that support PMI removal, potentially saving homeowners valuable funds.
