what is an appraisal?

Defined by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) of the Appraisal Foundation, an APPRAISAL is the act or process of developing an opinion of value. An APPRAISER is expected to perform valuation service competently and in a manner that is independent, impartial, and objective.
