It's something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. Jorgenson Northwest, Inc. is qualified in helping clients just like you get rid of undesirable PMI insurance.
