Why do I need a Real Estate Appraisal?

A Real Estate Appraisal becomes necessary for any number of reasons including buying, selling, insurance claims, partnership divisions, mortgage financing, estate planning, investment purposes, and many other reasons. Having a trusted, knowledgable, and experienced appraiser to give you an opinion of market value allows you to come to the table with the information needed to make a wise decision.

What is a Real Estate Appraisal?

A Real Estate Appraisal is the process of developing a credible opinion of property or land valuation. In a real estate appraisal, the properties highest and best use is evaluated. An appraiser generally starts with an in-person inspection of the property. From there data and current market research is analyzed along with comparable property research and selection. An appraisal of real estate involves three approaches to value-the cost approach, income approach, and sales comparison approach. Given the intended use, intended user, and scope of work, the appraiser will weigh which approach(s) best suit the clients need. There is much more that goes into a properties market value and having an experienced appraiser who knows your area is key to receiving credible results.
