Is there a fee for an appraisal waiver?

The fee is $75, however some lenders make you pay it as part of your costs, and other lenders will pay it on your behalf as well as other costs, but at a higher rate..

Yes. If you are doing a conventional loan and an appraisal waiver is offered, a fee of $75 is assessed by Fannie or Freddie, in lieu of having to pay for an appraisal. This fee is usually passed on to the borrower. If you are doing an FHA (or VA)streamline with no appraisal, FHA and VA do not charge such a fee and you should not be charged for one either ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z team of NOVA Home Loans ~ NMLS 40586 ~ Licensed in California and Arizona ~ www.LoansA2z.com 888-889-9950

No, not generally but some lenders may charge a fee. Call around in your local market. For the most part I am not aware of a charge in Utah but not sure about other areas of the country.
