Navigating the Nuances of the Los Angeles Real Estate Market

Every appraisal considers the unique features, neighborhood trends, and market nuances that impact value.

Los Angeles Real Estate Appraisal FAQ

Q: Can an online AVM (Automated Valuation Model) replace a certified appraisal?
 A: No. AVMs rely solely on algorithms and public data. They do not include a physical inspection or account for property-specific conditions, quality of finish, or deferred maintenance. Lenders, courts, and the IRS require a USPAP-compliant appraisal for legal, financial, or estate matters.

Q: What happens if the appraised value differs from the sale price?
 A: A value difference indicates that the appraiser’s objective analysis of comparable sales does not support the contracted purchase price. This may require renegotiation, additional funds from the buyer, or an appeal of the appraisal. Our certified reports provide clear guidance for these situations.
