For a few months after I bought my house and again after a refi.. a car would appear on the road above the house, someone would take some pics and then drive off. After seeing one car a second time, I walked up and asked the woman what she was doing. She worked for a third party appraisal company. With most home and refi appraisals they are required to find at least two other homes, condos, etc that were recently sold or refinanced to use as comparison to see of the sale or value price of the home being purchased or refinanced is actually a true fair market value.
