Appraisals to remove PMI

A fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Rollins and Hopkins Appraisal Service, LLC, we're qualified in helping homeowners just like you remove undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of things like this, the better. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Rollins and Hopkins Appraisal Service, LLC is your number one weapon.
