To a lot of us, an appraisal is simply another fee in the long list of items for a home sale or refinance.

Let Double J Appraisals, LLC. assist you in lowering your mortgage payment

Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is a supplemental insurance plan that most lenders ask home owners to buy when the amount being loaned to the home owner is more than 80% of the actual value of the real estate. More often than not, this extra payment is lumped into the monthly mortgage payment and is promptly forgotten. PMI becomes unnecessary when the leftover balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - goes below the 80% mark, making this very unfortunate. In fact, the Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) of 1998 was approved by the United States Congress requiring lenders to dismiss the PMI installments when the balance is paid down to 78% of the original value.

The loss of a loved one is a painful time in life, and settling an estate from a death, or probate, often calls for an appraisal to establish Market Value for the real estate involved.

Unlike wealthier individuals, most Americans don't have dedicated estate planners or executors to manage these issues.
