Home Valuation
A formal appraisal is essential for calculating a realistic listing price. Many sellers who have consulted with Kohlen & Co. Appraisals before putting their homes on the market have benefitted when selling real estate in the Cariboo Chilcotin regions.
Appraisal for Home Buyers
Many lenders require a residential property to be appraised before buyers make a formal offer in order to ensure that the amount of the requested mortgage loan is accurate to the home's actual value. Independent appraisals also give buyers a chance to verify whether the list price is reasonable and may be included as a contingency clause in purchase agreements where the bank's approval of the loan is conditional to a professional appraisal.
Appraisals for Home Refinancing
As is the case with an original mortgage loan, lenders may request an appraisal of your property when requesting a refinancing loan if the property has decreased in value over time to ensure that your home's value is equivalent to the requested loan. In addition, the equity in your home may have also decreased or increased depending on any changes in its market value which our licensed appraisers are qualified to assess.

Is an Appraisal the Same as a Home Inspection?

While a home inspection provides information on the structure and surrounding area of a residential property; an appraisal factors in additional pertinent information to arrive at a precise monetary value that is based on specific and qualified calculations made by a qualified and unbiased professional.
