What is a Cash Sale Appraisal?
A cash sale appraisal is a professional assessment of your property’s value when selling directly to a cash buyer. Unlike traditional appraisals required by lenders, this appraisal focuses on current market conditions and the unique features of your home without the constraints of loan requirements.
Understanding the true value of your property ensures you don’t undersell or overprice, facilitating a smoother transaction. Learn more in our Comprehensive Home Appraisal Guide 2024.
