Frequently Asked Questions About Property Valuation Services

What is a real estate appraisal and why do I need one?

A real estate appraisal is an objective evaluation of your property’s market value, performed by a licensed professional. Appraisals are essential for buying, selling, refinancing, or disputing property taxes. They ensure you know your home’s true worth and can negotiate with confidence.

How does an appraiser determine the value of my home?

Appraisers use a combination of market data, property inspections, and advanced analytical tools. We consider comparable sales in your neighborhood, property condition, upgrades, lot size, and market trends. At Hudson Appraisals, we combine hyper-local expertise with technology to deliver accurate, defensible valuations.

Can an appraisal affect the sale of my home?

Absolutely. If a buyer’s lender requires an appraisal, the reported value can impact negotiations. When this happens, it can be a huge advantage to have as your Realtor, one who is also a valuation expert who can credibly review the appraisal and provide a reasoned rebuttal. This can save tens of thousands on the sale of your home.

What's the difference between an appraisal and a home inspection?

An appraisal focuses on value. A home inspection focuses on condition—identifying repairs or safety issues. Both are important, but they serve very different purposes in a real estate transaction.

How long does an appraisal take?

Typically, the on-site inspection takes 30–90 minutes, depending on property size and complexity. After the inspection, we analyze data and deliver a detailed report—usually within 24–72 hours for residential properties.

Do I have to use the lender's appraiser?

If you’re financing your home, lenders usually order the appraisal themselves. However, for private valuations, tax appeals, or investment purposes, you can hire Hudson Appraisals directly for an independent, unbiased assessment.
