Why you should get an appraisalEvery year, thousands of people in New Jersey purchase, sell or refinance their home. Many of these transactions contain a simple line item for an appraisal. Even though there are a budding number of automated home valuation methods that might appear to be more cost-effective than an appraisal, the majority of lenders still call in a local expert because the stakes are incredibly high. You might believe that securing a mortgage is the only reason to get an appraisal, but there are other times when the services of a licensed, independent real estate professional might be helpful.

Get rid of PMI to lower your mortgage paymentWhen the amount being loaned to the buyeris more than 80% of the actual value of the real estate, most lenders ask home buyers to purchase this supplemental insurance policy. That policy is Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI. This extra payment is often folded into the monthly mortgage payment and is soon forgotten. PMI becomes unnecessary when the remaining balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - falls below the 80% mark, making this very unfortunate. In fact, the United States Congress invoked a law in 1998 (the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998) that requires lenders to eliminate the PMI installments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met. If you'd like to do away with PMI, Tight & Right Real Estate Valuation will provide you with a statement regarding the value of your home. The price you paid for the home valuation can usually be regained in a short amount of time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.
