What is an Appraisal?

A home purchase is the largest single investment most people will ever make. Whether it's a primary residence, a second vacation home, or an investment, the purchase of real property is a complex financial transaction that requires multiple parties to pull it off. Most people are familiar with the roles of the Realtor, the mortgage company, and the title company. However, who ensures the value of the property is in line with the amount being paid?

This is where the appraisal comes in. 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.

The Inspection

Our appraisal process starts with a thorough inspection of the property. Our appraiser inspects the property to ascertain the true status of the property. We ensure that all features, such as the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and location, are accurate and in the condition a reasonable buyer would expect them to be.

The Appraisal Process

We use a combination of three approaches to determining the value of real property:

• The Cost Approach: This approach uses information on local building costs, labor rates, and other factors to determine how much it would cost to construct a property similar to the one being appraised.
• The Sales Comparison Approach: This approach involves research on recent sales in the vicinity and finding properties that are "comparable" to the subject being appraised.
• The Income Approach: This approach is used for income-producing properties and involves using the amount of income the property produces to arrive at the current value.
