"The company followed up on the appointment and was on-time for the appraisal. The report was delivered in a matter of days. I noticed a deficiency in the initial appraisal. I reached out to the appraiser, and the document was corrected and updated within 24 hours. Because of his excellent customer service, I rehired him to appraise another property."

"I am a 100% satisfied first time First Advantage customer. Wade arrived on time, was very thorough with his home inspection, highly professional and pleasantly very personable as well. I did a lot of research prior to hiring First Advantage and could not be any happier with both the business experience and my very comprehensive highly detailed home appraisal that was emailed to me promptly as promised the very next day in PDF format and by request, a complementary mailed printed copy was included as well. If anyone needs an honest and accurate very comprehensive professional home appraisal, I highly recommend hiring this second-to-none in the industry home appraisal company. Thanks Wade. It was a genuine pleasure doing business with you. If I ever need another home appraisal or meet anyone else who needs one, expect to hear back from me or them again. Best wishes to you and your family."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

You can be present during a home appraisal, but it’s best to stay out of the appraiser’s way. Make yourself available, but don’t engage or interrupt, and don’t discuss value or your target sales price. If possible, have your agent present in the house instead of being present yourself.

In most cases, selling a home in as-is condition will lead to a sale price that’s somewhere between 10% and 30% lower than normal. However, it’s often worthwhile to sell at a loss because the alternative would be to pay for the repairs yourself, which could end up costing you more. Even if they didn’t, selling as-is saves you from the time and energy you’d spend coordinating the repairs.

Appraisals are not mandatory but are helpful for pricing accuracy and negotiation purposes.

The differences between market value and appraised value depend on the local market, so they can match, or either one can be higher than the other. In a “seller’s market,” where there is an abundance of buyers, market value will likely sit higher than the appraised value because there’s more demand for the low inventory of homes. In a “buyer’s market,” where there are more homes than there are buyers, the market value is more likely to sit below the appraised value to entice buyers.

As a seller, it might feel tempting to skip the appraisal, especially in a hot market that sees a lot of all-cash offers. While you can technically forgo it and hope for an all-cash offer, you’ll likely have a very tough time selling without an appraisal. 

In addition to protecting lenders from risk, appraisals also protect buyers’ investments. As such, it isn’t typically recommended for buyers to skip appraisals.
