What is an appraisal?



Appraisal is a document that gives an estimate of a property's fair market value. An appraisal is generally required by a lender before loan approval to ensure that the mortgage loan amount is not more than the value of the property.


The appraisal is performed by an "appraiser" who is typically a state-licensed individual trained to render expert opinions concerning property values.


In an appraisal, consideration is given to the property, its location, amenities as well as its physical conditions.
