Real Estate Agents vs. AppraisersReal estate agents are salespeople who also provide appraisals to assist buyers and sellers in order to make listing presentations. Typically, no fee is charged for these appraisals. An appraiser is a professional who goes in depth into what your home is worth and assesses the plots, property lines, and location of the property. It is a good idea to get a value (CMA) from two or three real estate agents if you are homeowner and are thinking about putting your home on the market. Some homeowners want an independent professional appraisal, particularly if they already have a buyer or are selling it themselves. Both real estate agents and appraisers will provide appraisals for other purposes such divorce or "evaluations" for mortgage lending purposes. A fee may or may not be charged for these appraisals. If the real estate agent is providing an appraisal and is a Realtor member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), NAR regulations require adhering to professional appraisal standards of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. |
