These two steps are often confused, but they serve very different purposes in a real estate transaction:

📊 Appraisal – Determines the home’s market value. An appraiser evaluates the property based on size, condition, features, and comparable sales to ensure the price aligns with the market.

🛠️ Inspection – Evaluates the home’s condition. A home inspector looks for issues like structural concerns, systems, and potential repairs.

Why it matters:
An appraisal protects the value of the purchase, while an inspection helps identify risks and future costs. Both play a key role in making informed decisions.

Understanding the difference helps buyers navigate the process with confidence. Let's connect to better understand how each step impacts your home buying journey and how to navigate them with confidence.
