Steps to Take Before an
Appraiser’s Visit
Homeowners unfamiliar with
the appraisal process might not
know if there is anything they can
do to make the process go more
smoothly. While certain variables
involved in the appraisal process,
such as location of the home
and the value of surrounding
homes, are beyond homeowners’
control, the Appraisal Institute
recommends homeowners take
the following steps before an appraiser
visits their home.
• Clean the house. A dirty
home that is full of clutter will
not make the best impression on
appraisers. Dirty homes may be
vulnerable to insect infestations
that can lead to structural problems
with the home. While a dirty
home is not necessarily an indicator
of infestations or a reflection
of a home’s value, a clean home
will create a stronger first impression
with the appraiser.
• Make any necessary repairs
ahead of the appointment.
Homeowners who have
been putting off repairs should
make them before the appraiser
arrives. Homes with repairs
that still need to be made will
likely be valued less than similar
homes with no such repair issues.
Though repairs can be costly, investing
in home repairs will likely
increase both the appraisal and
resale value of the home.
• Obtain all necessary documents
before the appraiser arrives.
Homeowners who have
certain documentation at the
ready can speed up the appraisal
process. Such documentation
may include a survey of
the house and property; a deed
or title report; a recent tax bill;
if applicable, a list of items to be
sold with the house; purchase history
of the home; and the original
plans and specifications of
the home.
• Inform the appraiser about
recent improvements. Homeowners
can inform appraisers
about any recent improvements
to the home and the cost of
those improvements. The value
of home improvements with regard
to a home’s appraisal value
vary depending on a host of
variables, but having such information
at the ready can help appraisers
make the most informed
appraisal possible.
