Why order an appraisal from FMC Appraisals, Inc.?

Year after year, thousands of people in Florida buy, sell or refinance their home. A lot of these transactions include a simple line item for an appraisal. Even though there are an increasing number of automated home valuation processes that might appear more cost-effective than an appraisal, most lenders still want a local expert because the stakes are incredibly high. You might believe that securing a mortgage is the only reason you should get an appraisal, but there are other instances when the services of a licensed, independent real estate professional might be beneficial.

If you're planning on any transaction where the value of your real estate is a factor, you should contact FMC Appraisals, Inc.. Just click here.

Let FMC Appraisals, Inc. help you do away with PMI to lower your mortgage payment

When the amount being loaned to the home buyer is more than 80% of the actual value of the property, nearly all lenders ask buyers to buy an additional insurance plan. That policy is Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI. More often than not, this added payment is folded into the monthly mortgage payment and is promptly forgotten. This is unfavorable because PMI is unnecessary when the remainder of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - decreases below the 80% mark. In fact, the United States Congress invoked a law in 1998 (the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998) requiring lenders to do away with the PMI installments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met.

If you'd like to do away with PMI, FMC Appraisals, Inc. can produce a statement regarding the value of your home. The cost of the home valuation can generally be regained in a short amount of time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.
