Does anyone have an insight on how an appraisal works? We are looking to move soon and are wondering if we should get the house appraised first or if that’s a requirement or how it all works. Thanks moms!

Best answer
I’m an appraiser. You can get an appraisal done today know what it’s worth to know what to ask for. Otherwise a realtor can do a cma to give you an idea of what homes are selling for. When you do get a contract an appraisal will be done on the buyers end

@vicious okay! It sounds more beneficial to get it done with the realtor so they are able to let me know what to put it up for! Thank you!

Hi Shelby! Do you have a realtor yet? I am a realtor with Keller Williams and would love an opportunity to interview to work with you. Like @vicious said above, I can do a CMA which will help determine a price to list your home at.
