| Appraisals And Home Inspections Differ In Several Aspects:
What Is A Home Appraisal?
According to the Appraisal Institute, the role of the home appraiser is to "provide a professional opinion, usually an estimate of market value, to be used in making real estate decisions. Typically, appraisers are employed by lenders to estimate the value of real estate involved in a loan transaction."
An appraiser hired by a lender works in the best interest of their client, the lender.
What Is A Home Inspection?
A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a house. Home inspectors are usually employed by the prospective homebuyer.
A home inspector hired by a buyer works in the best interest of their client, the homebuyer.
An appraisal is not a home inspection and a home inspection is not an appraisal.
Keep in mind that the approval / acceptance of a home by a lender is not an endorsement of the home's physical condition.
