Pre-Purchase Appraisal

Pre-purchase appraisals play an essential role in almost every sale involving real estate property. This might be to determine the sale price, help negotiate a fair sale price, or to set an offering price. Whenever typical financing is being used to purchase a property, the lender will require a pre-purchase appraisal to determine the current market value of the property. The market value is needed to assist the lender in deciding whether or not to approve the requested loan amount. Appraisals performed for typical financing purposes are held to a high standard, to which Gwinnett County Property Appraiser is no stranger to. The accuracy of our pre-purchase appraisals is a cornerstones of the lending process.

An appraisal from Gwinnett County Property Appraiser can provide you with a professional third-party appraisal, which is far more accurate than a realtor-based comparative market analysis (CMA).
