In the world of real estate, an appraisal is much more than just a guess about your home’s value. It’s a carefully thought-out evaluation that determines how much a property is really worth. At Triangle Appraisal Group (TAG), our certified appraisers are armed with experience and a deep understanding of the market. They look at everything from the size of your home to its location and condition to come up with a value that’s fair and accurate.
It’s key to understand that an appraisal is not the same as a home inspection. While an inspection digs into the condition of the home, an appraisal focuses on valuing the property as a whole. When you ask, “what is the purpose of an appraisal?”, remember it’s all about getting a clear picture of your home’s worth, whether for buying, selling, or refinancing purposes.
We approach the valuation process as a detailed journey to determine the right value for your home. Here’s how it unfolds:
Day 1: Appraisal Request is Scheduled
The journey begins when you schedule your appointment with us. We set everything in motion to prepare for a thorough examination of your property.
Day 2: Comps Are Pulled, and Physical Inspection Is Completed
This is where we dive deep into your property’s details. One of our certified appraisers conducts a detailed on-site inspection to confirm square footage, condition of the home, and the presence of any enhancements or unique features that could affect the property’s value. On this day, we also gather comparable property sales data (comps) to start understanding how your home compares to similar properties in the area.
Day 3-4: Our Valuator Team Analyzes Field Data and Compiles the Report
Over the next two days, our valuation team meticulously analyzes all the data collected from the field inspection and comps. This is when we piece together the story of your home’s value. We take into account its location, condition, and the latest market trends.
Day 5: Report Is Reviewed and Sent to Client
Once the report is compiled, it undergoes a thorough review to ensure every detail is accurate and wellsupported. Then, we send the comprehensive report to you, providing a clear and detailed valuation of your
property.
When it comes to determining the value of your home, we at TAG employ three main approaches, each
providing a different perspective on your property’s worth:
There are three main types you should know about: full, exterior-only, and desktops.

We’ve worked with a wide variety of people, each with their own unique needs when it comes to home valuations. Whether you’re looking to buy, sell, invest, or just understand more about your property, here’s why you might need an appraisal:
Navigating the world of real estate can be complex, but understanding the value of a property through an appraisal can simplify many decisions. We’ve seen firsthand how an accurate appraisal can serve as a powerful tool in various scenarios:
Understanding the costs associated with getting a home appraised and who foots the bill is an essential part of the appraisal process. Our TAG team aims to make this as clear as possible:
The average cost for a residential appraisal from us starts at $450, but keep in mind that the final price can vary. Several factors influence the cost, such as the type of appraisal you need (like those detailed appraisals versus a quicker desktop appraisal), the type of home you have (a single-family home might cost less to appraise than a multi-family property), and where your home is located. A property in a densely populated city might have different appraisal costs compared to one in a rural area, mainly due to the complexity of market analysis in different regions.
When it comes to who pays for the appraisal, it generally depends on the situation:
Navigating the appraisal process can seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be—not with TAG by your side. As your valuation experts, we’re here to illuminate every step of the way.
