In a refinance situation, does the homeowner get a copy of the appraisal? I receive this question a lot. And I hear agents and other appraisers talking about it from time to time.

Yes, the homeowner is entitled to a copy of the appraisal. Still, it can get tricky... And in case you're one of those people who both hates reading blogs AND need an appraisal, skip on down to Appraisals … (25 comments)

A Neighborhood in Arlington, Virginia: Country Club Hills At the western edge of Arlington County, bumped up next to McLean, Country Club Hills is the scene of large, impressive homes packed into its narrow streets.
