I am looking into refinancing and/or moving (haven't thought long and hard, yet obviously).
I have a fairly good guess at what the house is worth, and it's pretty close to what Zillow estimates, but I know I'd need a real appraisal in order to re-fi.
Is that something the bank does? Can I call a realtor and just ask them to come take a look at my house and tell me what it's worth?
I've been looking at houses on the MLS but would need to see a few in person before deciding if I even want to consider moving. Will an agent take me to see a handful of houses with me not even knowing if I want to sell/move? Is that just part of the deal?
Any of this going to cost me lots of money? (I know the refi will cost a fair, bit, but what about the other stuff).
Thanks!
