Let CRE Appraisal Services Inc help you lower your mortgage payment

When the amount being loaned to the homeowner is more than 80% of the actual value of the property, most lenders ask buyers to take out an added insurance policy. That policy is Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI. More often than not, this extra payment is folded 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 United States Congress passed a law in 1998 (the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998) requiring lenders to eliminate the PMI installments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met.

CRE Appraisal Services Inc will produce a statement regarding the value of your home, and the expense of the home valuation can generally be offset in a short amount of time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.
