Appraisal is the act of estimating the monetary value of real, personal, or intangible property, usually performed as a service by someone recognized as an expert or certified by an organization.

Common appraisal fields are;

In the field of real estate transactions, appraisal is the act of determining the value of a property . There are two main types of appraisal:

  • Fee Appraisal - Appraisal of an individual property by a contracted appraiser who is usually paid a fee. For example, this will be done prior to a loan being issued by a bank , to verify that there is sufficient collateral should the borrower default.
  • Mass appraisal - Appraisal of many properties using a more statistical approach. Usually done by government agencies responsible for setting values for property tax calculations.

There are various approaches to determining the value, including:

  • Market - a.k.a. "sales comparison" - establishing the value based on a comparison of what similar properties have sold for.
  • Cost - Establishing value based on the cost to build that structure new, less depreciation .
