Appraisal

Your lender will coordinate scheduling a licensed appraiser to assess the property to determine its actual value. If appraised value is less than the agreed purchase price, an agreement must be made for one of two options. The seller agrees to lower the purchase price to the appraised value or you must cover the difference in cash at closing.
