Danielle Evans https://www.gatewayappraisalservices.com/shares with us what appraisers actually look for when appraising the home.

Their home's purchase is the biggest transaction most of us may ever make. Whether it's a main residence, a seasonal vacation property or one of many rentals, purchasing real property is a detailed transaction that requires multiple people working in concert to pull it all off.
