Do I have to get a home appraisal in order to get a home loan?

Yes. We will schedule the appraisal as part of reviewing your home loan application and you will receive a copy of the appraisal at closing. All lenders require a home appraisal before they will approve a home loan, because an appraisal gives us a trained professional’s point of view on the fair market value of the home to make sure it’s in line with the purchase price.
