Home Appraisal Questions and Answers

What does a real estate appraiser do?

A real estate appraiser inspects the property, researches comparable sales and market conditions, and prepares a report with an opinion of the property's market value as of a specific date.

When do I need a private home appraisal?

Homeowners commonly hire an appraiser for estates and date-of-death values, divorce, property tax appeals or setting a listing price. A lender arranges its own appraisal for a mortgage. An appraisal is a formal valuation by a state-licensed or certified appraiser, which differs from an agent's market analysis.

How do I choose a real estate appraiser?

Confirm the appraiser is licensed or certified in your state, ask about experience with your property type and purpose, such as estates or tax appeals, and what the report includes.

What affects the cost of a home appraisal?

Cost depends on the property's size and complexity, location, the purpose and type of report, rush requests and whether the appraiser must testify or provide additional consulting.

How should I prepare for a home appraisal?

Make the home accessible, including the attic, basement and outbuildings, and provide a list of improvements with dates. Share any survey or recent inspection that might help the appraiser.
