Reasons to order an appraisal from Savery Appraisal Services Inc.

To many, an appraisal just looks like a line item on the break-sheet for a home sale or refinance. Nearly all lenders still need a local expert because the stakes are very high, even though there are a growing number of automated home valuation systems that may seem more practical than an appraisal. Is obtaining a mortgage the only basis for getting an appraisal? Are there also cases when the services of a licensed, independent real estate professional might come in handy? You bet.

Settle a divorce with less stress

A divorce is a particularly traumatic event for the parties involved, and it is often even more complicated by the challenging decision of who keeps the property.

If the parties wish to sell the home, they'll have a better idea of what price to set. And if a "buyout" is the chosen option, both parties will feel like they've gotten a fair assessment.

Most Americans do not have dedicated estate planners or executors to take care of these issues, unlike wealthier individuals. And seeing that a home or other property often makes up an unequal share of the total estate value, knowing the true worth of the real estate at hand is of significant importance to ensuring disputing parties leave knowing they've gotten an honest deal.
