New Programs Allow Appraisal Waivers on Home Refinances

Updated January 2020

 

If you have a Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, VA or USDA loan, you could be eligible for an appraisal waiver when refinancing your home. With home equity near all-time highs, the mortgage lenders have become more lenient in regards to appraisal requirements. This benefit will save you upwards of 500 dollars in out-of-pocket costs and allow you to refinance your home loan faster. 

How Do Appraisal Waivers Work?

Appraisal waivers allow the lender to refinance your loan without having to complete an appraisal report on your property. This can save you time and money. Most government backed mortgages will qualify for appraisal waivers. Conventional financing can also qualify for an appraisal waiver. The best thing you can do is use the Eligibility Checker to find out if your property qualifies for an appraisal waiver. 

How Do I Find Out If I’m Eligible For An Appraisal Waiver?

To check your eligibility instantly, we built an Eligibility Checker to find out if your home is eligible for an appraisal waiver. Some properties will qualify for appraisal waivers for multiple loan products so we may need to contact you to discuss the differences.

Save Money By Getting An Appraisal Waiver.

Appraisals are expensive and are almost always paid for out of pocket. Appraisals typically cost 500+ dollars out-of-pocket. Use our Eligibility Checker to see if your property qualifies.

Refinance Faster!

When a refinance doesn’t need an appraisal, it can close in as little as 10 days. Without the need for an appraisal, you won’t have to worry about scheduling with the appraiser, working around his schedule, and then waiting days to receive the results. Use our Eligibility Checker to see if your property qualifies.

Our experience with this company was seamless from start to finish. We couldn’t be more grateful for the firm’s thoroughness and dedication to assisting all our needs throughout the entire process. In a prior experience with another firm we felt forgotten, and that process dragged along. However, with these guys, we felt as if we were the number one priority every day. With our busy and random schedules we were able to converse through emails and still close our transaction in what we consider record time. All of our questions were answered promptly and cheerfully, and the details of the process were always made clear to us. Our expectations were blown away and we absolutely recommend them to family, friends and everyone else! I would like to thank them and their team behind the scenes.

I was very pleased with the whole home mortgage experience working with this team. From the beginning it was clear that they were working in my best interest and to help us save on all the costs associated with closing a home loan. They helped us choose us the best interest rate possible when weighed against the fees and credits from the lenders. Highly recommend this company!
