An appraisal can be key to protecting your interest in many financial dealings. When there is a question as to the value of your property, there is also a risk involved.
Value oriented risks may include:
selling too low
paying too much
being over or under insured
not getting your fair share in a division of property
paying too much in taxes
being audited when claiming a deduction for a charitable contribution or a business loss
A professional appraiser helps you manage your interest by providing a well developed and documented unbiased estimate of value upon which you can base financial decisions.
