Who Owns the Real Estate Appraisal Report?

In most real estate transactions, the real estate appraisal is ordered by the mortgage lender. While the home buyer pays for the real estate appraisal report as part of the closing costs, the mortgage lender retains the right to use the real estate appraisal report or any information contained within.

The homebuyer is entitled to a copy of the real estate appraisal report - it's usually included with all of the other closing documents - but is not entitled to use the report for any other purpose without permission from the mortgage lender.

The exception to this rule is when a homeowner deals with the real estate home appraiser directly. In this situation, the real estate home appraiser may stipulate how the real estate home appraisal can be used -- such as for PMI removal, or property tax challenges, or divorce proceedings, etc. If not stipulated otherwise, the homeowner can use the real estate home appraisal for any purpose.
