Why you should get an appraisal

Every year, thousands of people in West Virginia buy, sell or refinance their home. Many of these transactions contain a simple line item for an appraisal. Most lenders still need a local expert because the stakes are so high, even though there are a developing number of automated home valuation processes that may appear to be more prudent than an appraisal. You might think that securing a mortgage is the only reason you should get an appraisal, but there are more times when the services of a certified, independent real estate professional could be beneficial.
