When you’re ready to remove private mortgage insurance (PMI) from your loan, a professional appraisal can make it happen. PMI is usually required if you put down less than 20% when buying your home, but once your loan-to-value (LTV) ratio drops below 80%, you may be eligible to eliminate it. I conduct certified real estate appraisals that determine your home’s current market value to see if you’ve built enough equity. This step can help you lower your monthly mortgage payment and save you money each year.
Requesting a PMI removal appraisal is a smart financial move—especially if property values in your area have risen since you purchased your home. If my appraisal confirms that you have sufficient equity, your lender may cancel PMI, potentially saving you hundreds or even thousands annually. The process is straightforward, but it requires a qualified, certified appraiser who can deliver a lender-accepted report. By investing in a professional appraisal, you take an important step toward reducing your long-term housing costs.
Please note some lenders will hire the appraiser for PMI removal purposes, therefore prior to hiring me to complete an appraisal for PMI removal please contact the lender to ensure they will allow you to hire an appraiser.
