Here's the impact:

What will you accomplish today?

These two steps are often confused
but they serve very different purposes.

📊 Appraisal – Determines the home’s market value.
An appraiser evaluates the property based on size, condition, features, and similar 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
An inspection helps identify risks and future costs.
Both play a key role in making informed decisions.

Understanding the difference helps you navigate the process with confidence.
