Appraisal Formats
Residential appraisals are typically
performed on the Uniform Residential Appraisal Report (URAR) FNMA Form 1004 or

Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). The complete
appraisal package includes the appraisal form, addenda pertaining to the
appraisal process, location and flood maps, property sketches, photographs of
the subject and comparable properties and a signed certification and limiting
