When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Appraisal
An appraisal value represents the fair market value of a house based on comparable sales, condition and location of the property, size and number of rooms and type of construction.
Appraisals are generally done in connection with mortgage financing and the number used is a base to determine how much money to lend. Banks and mortgage lenders don't want to loan out more than a property is worth.
Assessment
An assessment, on the other hand, is the value of a house as determined by the town or city tax assessors, using a formula based on recent sale prices of comparable homes and other items.
Ideally, the assessed value (for taxes) and the appraised value (for the mortgage loan) should be very close but don't count on it if the market has been through some fluctuations or a property has been improved through renovations or additions that have not been reflected in the current assessment.
An assessment is probably not a good benchmark for a house's value because of a possible time lag since the last assessment and variability in assessing practices from community to community.
A good Buyer's Agent can show you how to use tax assessed values as a legitimate comparison to other properties in the area.

Valuator is much less frequently used than assessor or appraiser.
All three words can be used for the person who determines value of anything (not just real estate) but when talking about a profession/occupation, real estate valuation is by far the most in demand.
