Why Is An Appraisal Required?

An appraisal is required to determine the current market value of the property that will secure the loan. The appraised value will dictate the maximum loan available on that particular property. This is referred to as loan-to-value or LTV for short.

Each particular loan program has a maximum LTV based upon the lending guidelines that are contained within our automated underwriter. In order to ensure that the loan being requested meets the LTV limitations of the particular program, an appraisal must be performed to accurately assess the current market value.
