Do you think real estate appraisals are ordered only by mortgage lenders when a home is bought or sold?
Although it is true that most appraisals are done to support a home purchase involving a mortgage, you may want a home professionally appraised if you:
- Are settling the estate of a deceased family member,
- Are considering the sale of property you own and want a professionally developed, objective opinion of market value,
- Are going through a divorce and need current market value to divide joint assets, or
- Want to contest the tax assessed value of your property.
