When do I need a real estate appraisal?

Calling on an expert is not free as a qualified professional is held liable for his findings, given the high stakes that your lodging represents, and the repercussions on your finances (and the security of your family). You should call on an expert when a qualified, neutral and independent opinion seems necessary to you, to help you clarify a difficult situation or when a consultation is necessary to convince or oblige a third party.

Calling on an expert is sometime necessary as some real estate decisions often have substantial consequences and are costly. An individual may need a consultation to make an informed decision, eliminate doubts, negotiate with an opposing party in the case of a dispute or to convince or oblige a third party, such as a bank, a notary, the tax authorities etc.
