Video summary:
- Buying a home can be the single biggest purchase of a person’s life.
- Appraisers are under frequent pressure to appraise a property at a higher value than the property might be worth.
- Smart consumers will get independent appraisals.
- The minimum qualification of an appraiser is that they are licensed. Beyond that, they should have trade designations, be associated with professional appraisal organizations, and be local, or at least familiar with the region.
- Once you hire an appraiser, watch them work to check their thoroughness.
- It’s important to know a home’s value if you’re looking to negotiate property taxes or take out a home equity loan.
- Appraisers use the sales comparison approach, physical characteristics, and neighborhood trends as criteria for property value.
- It’s vitally important to verify an appraiser’s credentials.
