Reasons to get an appraisal from TNC Appraisal Service, Inc.

To many, an appraisal just looks like one more thing in the long list of items for a home sale or refinance. Practically all lenders still need a local expert because the stakes are so high, even though there are a growing number of automated home valuation systems that might appear to be cheaper than an appraisal. You might believe that getting a mortgage is the only reason to get an appraisal, but there are more cases when the services of a certified, independent real estate professional might come in handy.

Eliminate PMI to lower your mortgage payment

Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is an added insurance policy that most lenders ask home owners to purchase when the amount being loaned to the home owner is more than 80% of the actual value of the real estate. This added payment is often folded into the monthly mortgage payment and is promptly forgotten. This is damaging because PMI isn't required when the leftover balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - falls below the 80% mark. In fact, the United States Congress passed a law in 1998 (the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998) requiring lenders to dismiss the PMI payments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met.

TNC Appraisal Service, Inc. can produce a statement regarding the value of your home, and the price you paid for the home valuation can generally be regained in just a few months because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.

The ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds us with confidentiality, ensuring the maximum degree of discretion.

Unlike many wealthy individuals, most Americans do not have dedicated estate planners or executors to manage these matters. And seeing that a home or other property often makes up a disproportionate share of the total estate value, understanding the true worth of the real estate at hand is of vital importance to ensuring disputing parties leave knowing they've received an honest deal.
