What is an appraisal?

View a sample appraisal

An appraisal is an unbiased estimate of what a buyer might expect to pay - or a seller receives - for a parcel of real estate, where both buyer and seller are informed parties. To be an informed party, most people turn to a licensed, certified, professional appraiser to provide them with the most accurate estimate of the true value of their property.

This evaluation considers various factors such as the property's location, size, condition, and comparable sales in the area to provide an estimated market value. Appraisals are often required for mortgage lending, property sales, and other real estate transactions.
