Good to know

Appraisal FAQ

Do I need an appraisal for a mortgage refinance?

Yes, nearly all mortgage refinancing requires a current appraisal to confirm the home's value supports the new loan amount — this is typically ordered through your lender or an approved appraisal management company.

How urgent is an estate appraisal usually?

Estate appraisals are often time-sensitive due to probate court deadlines or tax filing requirements — if you're an executor, it's worth starting this process as soon as possible rather than waiting.

Can any appraiser handle jewelry or art appraisals?

No — personal property appraisals for specialty items like jewelry, fine art, or collectibles require appraisers with specific certification in that category, distinct from real estate appraisal credentials.

Why do divorce settlements often need a formal appraisal?

Courts typically require an independent, credentialed appraisal (rather than an informal estimate) to fairly divide real estate or significant personal property assets in a divorce settlement.
