But don't pass up on an inspection. You'll save yourself a lot of grief in the future if you hire a good Inspector - mark my words. _________________ Raymond Denton www.RaymondDenton.com

1 Appraiser Guest	Posted: Tue Feb 09, 2010 9:02 pm    Post subject: A fool and there money are soon parted Like 0 Dislike 0 It is foolish to not hire an Appraiser if you are paying cash. Do not assume yuou know more than the Appraiser, you may be sorry. Kind of like only a fool is there own lawyer, only a fool is there own Appraiser. Penny wise and pound foolish you would be not to spend a few hundred bucks or so. The Appraiser is one of the hardest working persons in a transaction for very little money. A title policy is not required either, if you pay cash and neither is recording the deed in many others, but each would be foolish not to have. How about no homeowners insurance, just think of the money you would save without it. Think of the Appraisal like anything else, if it is done the right way by a true professional it is worth far more than what you paid for it.
