Whether you’re buying a home or refinancing, the appraisal plays a key role. For buyers, it provides an objective assessment of the home’s market value, helping confirm the purchase price is fair and giving lenders confidence the property supports the loan.
For refinances, it determines your equity and helps ensure you don’t borrow more than the home is worth. A licensed appraiser evaluates condition, features, location, and comparable sales, so a little prep matters. WeSayOk.com
