Appraisal vs Inspection: same thing, right?
Not quite! 📝
An appraisal tells you what the home is worth. It’s ordered by the lender to make sure the price lines up with market value.
An inspection tells you what condition the home is in. It’s ordered by you, the buyer, so you know exactly what you’re walking into.
Both matter, they just answer different questions. Got more home buying questions? Drop them below or reach out anytime, I'd be happy to draw them out for you on a whiteboard just like this!👇
