Knowing the value of your home is undeniably important. However, a lot of people are afraid to entertain appraisers due to various reasons. If you are one of them, you must know how this process works.   Basically, appraising your home has nothing to do with the number of your furniture and decorations. This is not even a matter of checking the cleanliness of the house. Much more, this is not about finding defects and damage in your territory. This is just a process in where appraisers try to estimate the real worth of your house to help you either to sell or refinance your home.   The process of appraising a home is based on the size of the house, the number of rooms, and the features or amenities the house is offering. The value is determined through finding at least three similar house types that have been sold to be compared to your house. Then, the value of your home will be estimated based on the rate of these three houses. The worth of the house is however being reduced depending on the features your house does not have that they have. Likewise, the price goes higher when they find certain features of your house that the sample houses do not have.   So, there really is nothing to worry about getting your house appraised. There is no point to be afraid as the appraisers follow a standard rule to estimate the value of your house.
