  I was very pleased with the work Robert Howlett did as our real estate agent.  We have known Robert by being from Glendora.  The house we sold was in Ontario, and he had all the contacts at both ends to get the job done.  This was in spite of having somewhat difficult buyers.  He was able to get through the obstacles masterfully, and we are fully pleased with his work at The Appraisal Station and Realty ONE Group Masters.   Paul Terhune

How to Remove Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)

Obtaining a real estate appraisal is a big step in Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) removal. A professional appraisal provides an objective and precise assessment of your property’s current market value. This is instrumental for homeowners in demonstrating that their loan-to-value ratio has improved due to increased equity in their property. As a result, they can justify the removal of PMI, which translates into substantial savings on monthly mortgage payments. In this scenario, a real estate appraisal becomes an indispensable tool to help homeowners support their financial goals and relieve themselves of the financial burden of PMI.

Removing PMI When Refinancing

Refinancing your mortgage offers the advantage of obtaining a lower interest rate and possibly eliminating the need for Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). To refinance, a new property assessment is required. If this appraisal reveals a Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio below 80 percent, PMI may no longer be necessary. While the main goal might be securing a lower interest rate, combining it with PMI removal can lead to significant monthly savings and long-term financial benefits.

Disputing Real Estate Tax Assessments

A real estate appraisal serves as the foundation for determining residential property taxes. By securing an independent appraisal from The Appraisal Station, property owners gain a powerful resource to challenge excessive tax assessments. With credible documentation and detailed analysis provided by a professional appraiser, property owners can significantly bolster their case, enhancing the likelihood of achieving a favorable resolution. In such instances, a real estate appraisal is a reliable means to protect homeowners’ financial interests and potentially reduce their property tax obligations.
