Use This Form If:

  • Situations requiring a formal statement of appraisal details often arise during the closing process of a home sale. Buyers may be asked to present this affidavit to confirm the accuracy of the appraisal report submitted to the financing institution.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate for properties being sold without financing. If a buyer is purchasing a property outright without a mortgage, an appraisal affidavit may not be necessary.
  • – In situations where the appraisal has not been conducted by a certified appraiser, using this affidavit would be inappropriate. The affidavit relies on the credibility of the appraisal process, which must meet specific standards.
  • – If the property in question is not real estate, such as personal property or vehicles, this affidavit would not be suitable. The form is specifically tailored for real estate transactions.
  • – For transactions involving commercial properties, different forms may be required. The Maine Appraisal Affidavit is primarily intended for residential real estate and may not meet the needs of commercial transactions.
  • – In cases where the appraisal is contested or under dispute, it is advisable to refrain from using this affidavit until the issues are resolved. Legal counsel should be sought to address any disputes regarding property valuation.
