3. Appraisal

We will order an appraisal for your property. You'll receive a call from a licensed appraiser to set up an appointment. We'll send you a copy of the appraisal for your review. This may take a few weeks, but we will continue to move forward. Sometimes a refinance does not require an appraisal. We'll let you know up front if you need one.
