Typically, the appraisal will meet with you at your property, having questions regarding features which you may wish to point out, such as recent upgrades, remodeling or additions. Some home owners will consult an appraiser as they plan significant improvement for estimated returns in property appreciation.

Property elements such as dwelling size, age of construction and renovation, quality of materials and workmanship, as well as the level maintenance and upkeep are all valuable considerations in an appraisal of a residential home.

Appraisal has been defined as the practice of determining the value of real property, most commonly based upon the comparison of monetary equivalents, or what appraisers call “Comps”.

Most importantly an appraisal provides a professional, independent and unbiased opinion of the value of a property, from which a client or home owner can make decisions with an informed estimate of the Market Value.
