When buying and selling a property, whether it be a piece of farm land, a home, or a commercial property, an appraisal is necessary. Appraisals are important to both the buyer and the seller of any piece of property.

BUYERS

As a buyer, an appraisal can help you understand what is included in your property and whether the seller’s asking price is accurate, too low, or even too high.

Banks and other financial institutions often require an appraisal prior to approving a loan for the purchase of property, to help them decide whether the property’s value corresponds to the loan amount.

SELLERS

Appraisals are a must for the seller as well. Having as much knowledge about your property as possible is helpful when deciding on the asking price for your home, farm, property, or commercial building.

Having an accurate appraisal can also assist you when a buyer starts the negotiation process. You will be able to determine what bargaining range is comfortable for you. No seller wants to find out after they sell their property that they could have gotten more.

Also, placing too much value on your property (listing above market value) can result in fewer prospective buyers, longer marketing time, and can lead to problems in the loan approval process.
