Why are the majority of appraisals obtained?

In brief, the reasons to order an appraisal:

• because a lender requires it,
• to lower your tax burden,
• to help you make one of the largest financial decisions in your life,
• to provide a negotiating tool when purchasing real estate,
• to determine a reasonable price when selling real estate,
• to protect your rights in a condemnation case and
• to allow you to obtain a qualified appraisal report from a qualified appraiser.
• because a government agency such as the IRS requires it or because you are involved in a lawsuit.
