Frequently Asked Questions
The appraisal process can be confusing. Here’s a few of our most common questions and answers:
A residential appraisal is an independent opinion of market value for a property, completed by a state-certified appraiser. The appraisal is based on recent comparable sales, market conditions, property characteristics, and applicable appraisal standards.
Appraisals are commonly required for: home purchases, mortgage refinances, estate and probate matters, divorce settlements, pre-listing decisions, and private valuations.
Most residential appraisal reports are completed within a few business days following the property visit, depending on property complexity, market data availability, and lender requirements.
A home inspection and an appraisal inspection serve different purposes.
A home inspection is performed by a licensed home inspector and focuses on identifying potential structural, mechanical, and safety issues within the property. Inspectors typically evaluate items such as roofing, plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC, foundation conditions, and overall functionality of the home.
An appraisal inspection is conducted by a state-certified real estate appraiser and is primarily focused on verifying the property’s physical characteristics, condition, and features as they relate to market value. The appraiser measures the home, documents room count and layout, notes general condition and updates, and compares the property to recent comparable sales within the market.
While appraisers observe visible conditions, they do not perform the detailed system testing or diagnostic evaluations associated with a home inspection.
