Frequently Asked Questions

What is the process of an appraisal?

The process of a real estate appraisal begins with the appraiser accepting an assignment and defining the scope of work, whether it's for buying, selling, or refinancing a property. Next, the appraiser conducts a site observation of the property, examining its size, condition, and features. They analyze the market to determine current inventory and market trends. Next, they will research the market for recent sales of similar homes in the area, known as 'comparable sales'. Using this information, the appraiser applies specialized methods, like the Sales Comparison Approach, to support the appraised value. These findings are compiled into a detailed appraisal report, providing a professional valuation of the property.

Why should I get an appraisal?

Getting a real estate appraisal is essential for several key reasons. Firstly, it provides an accurate estimate of your property's value, crucial for fair pricing in sales or refinancing. Appraisals that are conducted by professional appraisers offer unbiased valuations, ensuring you don't overpay or undersell. They are also vital for tax assessments, helping avoid overpayment on property taxes. Additionally, appraisals are important in legal matters, like divorces or estate settlements, where precise property values are needed. Lastly, appraisals can guide home improvement decisions, indicating areas that increase your property's market value. In summary, appraisals are fundamental for informed and equitable real estate decisions.

Why do some appraisers charge less than others?

Not all appraisers are the same. The skill and training of an appraiser greatly impacts the quality of their reports. Some appraisers, especially those not properly trained, lack the expertise to produce credible, accurate appraisals. This can lead to reports that don't truly reflect a property's value. Additionally, while some appraisers might offer services at a lower fee, this can be misleading. A low-cost appraisal that is inaccurate ends up being overpriced, as it doesn't provide the reliable information needed for sound real estate decisions. Therefore, choosing a qualified and experienced appraiser is crucial for obtaining a trustworthy property valuation.

What qualifies as a “residential” property?

Residential properties include single family homes, villas, condominiums, 2-4 unit multi-family dwellings, and vacant land.

Do we perform appraisals for banks and other lenders?
