Homes are normally being appraised by banking and lending institutions in order to determine the present and future value of the home before it is being purchased or sold. This is one way of ensuring that you are getting the right value of the money that you are shelling out at present and in the future. Below are some of the basic things that you should understand about home appraisal and why they are being conducted: a.
   Home appraisal is being administered based on your request.  This means that nobody will come to you and ask you to inspect your home and appraise it.  You usually request it because you would like to know how much the home would cost should you decide to sell it. b.
There are appraisers that are public and private.  Public appraisers are usually being sent by a government institution and normally minimal amount of charge is being asked whereas, private home appraisers are private practitioners who charge a little higher compared to their counterpart. c.
  You need to understand that part of home appraisal is to conduct home inspections and home survey.  These two different activities will happen once the agreement has been closed between you and the appraiser. With these fundamental concepts about home appraisal, you will, at least be ready once you will have it yourself.
