An appraisal is essentially a credible Opinion of Market Value.

In residential real estate, this opinion of market value is provided by a competent, State Licensed Professional Appraiser who performs thorough market analysis and precise methodology.

The most common reason for having an appraisal is for Mortgage Lending purposes, in which a Mortgage Lender requires an opinion of value to determine sufficient collateral for a mortgage loan.

On the other hand, individuals often require appraisals for Private Home Purchases, the removal of PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance), Estate or Divorce Settlement, Relocation, evaluating feasibility of Home Improvements, or to simply determine an accurate Selling Price when selling a property on their own.
