This blog belongs to Tom Horn, a Birmingham AL appraiser who has lots of good content. He gave me permission to post his blog, so I am copying the link here:

In essence, he gives four reasons to consider getting an appraisal even when you are paying cash for a house.

1) To verify that you are not overpaying

2) To know how your house compares to the rest of the market

3) As a tool for negotiation

4) For lower taxes

I hope you enjoy his article.
