Home appraisal services are a crucial aspect of the real estate industry. They provide an impartial assessment of a property's worth, which is essential for various parties involved in a real estate transaction. Lenders usually require home appraisals before granting a mortgage to ensure that the property is worth the amount being financed. Homeowners may also seek home appraisal services to determine their home's current market value for reasons such as potential sale, refinancing, or property tax purposes. Expert appraisers have extensive knowledge of the local real estate market and can evaluate a property's condition, location, and other essential factors that influence its value.

This can be done in the weeks and months prior to listing the property.
