Common Questions About Our Appraisal Services
What is a home appraisal?
A home appraisal is an unbiased estimate of the true (or fair market) value of what a home is worth. It is conducted by a licensed appraiser and is crucial for determining property value for sales, mortgages, and tax assessments.
How long does the appraisal process take?
What factors affect the appraisal value?
Several factors influence the appraisal value, including the property’s location, size, condition, and comparable sales in the area. The appraiser also considers market trends and any unique features of the property.
Can I prepare my home for an appraisal?
Yes, you can prepare your home by ensuring it is clean and accessible, making any necessary repairs, and providing the appraiser with a list of recent improvements or upgrades.
Do I need an appraisal for refinancing?
Yes, most lenders require an appraisal when refinancing a mortgage to ensure the loan amount does not exceed the property’s current market value.
How is an appraiser chosen?
Appraisers are typically selected by the lender or financial institution involved in the transaction. They must be licensed and adhere to industry standards and regulations.
What should I do if I disagree with the appraisal value?
If you disagree with the appraisal value, you can request a reconsideration of value by providing additional information or comparable sales that may not have been considered initially.
How often should I get my property appraised?
It is advisable to get your property appraised every few years or whenever significant changes occur, such as major renovations or shifts in the local real estate market.
Are appraisals and inspections the same?
No, appraisals and inspections serve different purposes. An appraisal assesses the value of a property, while an inspection evaluates the condition of the property and identifies any necessary repairs or maintenance.
