AAFMAA Mortgage Services: What’s a VA Appraisal? (And Who Pays for It?)

VA appraisals are required when you take out a VA Home Loan. But what are they? How do they work, and who pays for it?

A VA appraisal is an unbiased professional opinion of the home’s market value, or the amount the independent VA appraiser thinks a buyer would offer to purchase the home. This value is influenced by recent sales of similar properties and by current market trends.

Learn more about VA appraisals, including how they work and what VA appraisers check for, in this article from AAFMAA Mortgage Services LLC.
