What does a Real Estate Appraiser do?
A licensed real estate appraiser determines a property's fair market value using comparable sales, condition, size and location. Mortgage lenders require a home appraisal for most loans, and appraisals are also used for refinancing, estate settlements, divorce, and property tax appeals.

Benefits of hiring a Real Estate Appraiser
- An independent valuation. An appraiser has no stake in the sale price, only in the accurate value.
- Required for financing. Your mortgage depends on the appraised value supporting the price.
- Support in disputes. Use an appraisal in estates, divorces and property tax assessment appeals.
Why hire a Real Estate Appraiser who speaks your language
An appraisal can decide whether your loan goes through or your family's property is divided fairly. An appraiser who speaks your language explains how comparable sales were chosen and what drove the value, which matters most in estate and family property matters.
