A property appraisal is a professional estimate of your home's current market value based on recent comparable sales, local market conditions, buyer demand, and the unique features of your property.
Unlike automated online estimates, a professional appraisal considers the details that make your property different, including location, presentation, improvements, land size, and current buyer interest.
