Appraisal for Home Buyers
Many lenders require a residential property to be appraised before buyers make a formal offer in order to ensure that the amount of the requested mortgage loan is accurate to the home’s actual value. Independent appraisals also give buyers a chance to verify whether the list price is reasonable and may be included as a contingency clause in purchase agreements where the bank’s approval of the loan is conditional to a professional appraisal.
Appraisals for Home Refinancing

Is an Appraisal the Same as a Home Inspection?
It is important to differentiate between a licensed appraisal and a home inspection. While a home inspection provides information on the structure and surrounding area of a residential property; an appraisal factors in additional pertinent information to arrive at a precise monetary value that is based on specific and qualified calculations made by a qualified and unbiased professional.
