Preparing for the Appraisal
If you are selling or refinancing your home, it will be to your benefit to see that the appraisal process goes smoothly. There are several things that you can do prior to the arrival of the appraiser that can ensure a proper and accurate appraisal.
Access
In most cases, lenders want the appraisal to reflect the "as is" status of the property. This means that the appraiser needs to have access to all areas of the home. To facilitate access, you can:
- Make sure that all rooms can be entered by the appraiser.
- Ensure that the appraiser has clean and dry access to crawlspaces and attics. Access doors must be opened so the appraiser can at least conduct a "head and shoulders" viewing.
- Garages, storage areas, closets, basements, etc. all must be viewed by the appraiser.
- The appraiser is required to take interior and exterior photos.
- Ensure that your water heater is double strapped and that you have both smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
