Does a home appraisal expire?
Appraisals are generally valid for 3 months, but depending on the lender’s requirements, it could be up to 6 months.
Can an appraisal be disputed?
Yes, if you believe the value is inaccurate, you can provide additional comps or relevant data to request a reconsideration.

Appraisal Services
Single Family Properties
A single-family home is a standalone residential property designed for one household, offering private living space and exclusive ownership of the land. These homes typically feature their own entrances, yards, and utilities, providing privacy and independence compared to multi-unit dwellings.
2-4 Family Properties
A 2-4 family property is a residential building containing two to four separate living units, each with its entrance, kitchen, and bathroom. These properties offer investment potential by allowing owners to occupy one unit while renting out the others, generating rental income while maintaining residential financing eligibility.
Condominiums
A condo (condominium) is a privately owned residential unit within a larger building or community, sharing common areas such as hallways, amenities, and exterior spaces. Owners have full ownership of their unit while jointly maintaining shared spaces through a homeowners’ association (HOA).
Cooperatives
A co-op (cooperative) property is a housing arrangement where residents own shares in a corporation that owns the entire building, rather than owning their individual units outright. Shareholders have the right to occupy a specific unit and must follow the co-op board’s rules, with decisions on maintenance, fees, and new residents typically requiring board approval.
Rent Survey
A rent survey is a market analysis that evaluates rental rates for similar properties in a specific area to determine fair market rent. It involves collecting data on comparable rentals, including location, size, amenities, and lease terms, to help property owners, investors, and lenders make informed decisions.
