AI summary

A property appraisal is a real estate agent's free, expert opinion on your home's potential sale price. You can easily request one using Trade Me Property's 'Request an appraisal' tool to connect with local agents.

Key points to remember:

- Appraisals are a price range, not a guaranteed sale price.

- Get multiple written opinions, but don't just choose the highest one.

- An agent must visit your home for the appraisal to be valid.

This differs from a formal valuation, which is a more detailed assessment from a registered valuer.
