Q: How can I find a trustworthy appraiser?

• <div><p>Some appraisers hold a Member of the Appraisal Institute designation. This accolade is the highest credential property appraisers can earn. An MAI appraisal is typically used for commercial properties.</p><p>While your lender will likely recommend an appraiser, you can also hire a professional home appraiser on your own. Choose someone who is experienced in your type of residential property, and ensure they hold all of the necessary credentials that your state or region requires.</p></div>

Q: How do I prepare for an appraisal?

• <div><p>Ensure the property is clean, provide access to all areas, and supply relevant documents, such as recent upgrades or tax records.</p></div>

Q: Do estate shutters increase home value?

• <div><p>Estate shutters are considered a high-end window treatment that increases home value. As previously mentioned, this project comes with an ROI of up to 75%. Shutters can also improve your home&rsquo;s energy efficiency, especially if you choose PVC or faux wood shutters, which will lead to long-term savings on your energy bills.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a property valuation and an appraisal?

• <div><p>A property valuation, sometimes called a comparative market analysis or CMA, provides a real estate expert&rsquo;s opinion on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/home-appraisal-vs-market-value.htm">how much your property will sell for</a>. It takes many things into consideration, like the condition and location of the home, but ultimately, all that matters for a property valuation is what a buyer might be willing to pay for the property. An appraisal is more concerned with determining the value. A valuation is to estimate what you&rsquo;ll get for a property, while an appraisal helps a lender establish loan-to-value ratios and loan amounts.</p></div>

Q: Is market value usually higher than appraised value?

• <div><p>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 &ldquo;seller&rsquo;s market,&rdquo; where there is an abundance of buyers, market value will likely sit higher than the appraised value because there&rsquo;s more demand for the low inventory of homes. In a &ldquo;buyer&rsquo;s market,&rdquo; where there are more homes than there are buyers, the market value is more likely to sit below the appraised value to entice buyers.</p></div>
