what to expect with home appraisal?
we are refinancing our home and the bank is requiring a home appraisal. our appraisal is on monday, what can i expect and how should i prepare for it? thanks!!
Re: what to expect with home appraisal?
Really nothing you can do to prepare, unless you have any time for some last-minute fix-ups or coats of paint.
Our appraisals have taken about 15 - 20 minutes each. The guy showed up, walked around from room to room taking notes and photos, and he left.
They usually use area comps and other records to fill in holes (square footage, acreage, etc.), but he/she may ask you some questions about home details.
We also told our mortgage guy about the renovations we had done within the past year, so he could give the appraiser a heads up. If you've done any work and you're there when the appraiser is, I'd say talk it up -- it can't hurt! And mention any "secret gems" he/she may not notice at the outset. For example, my DH custom-built a permanent 8-person walnut/oak bar downstairs, and the appraiser was really impressed. It would cost thousands to buy one of those, so we're hoping he evaluated it as an enhancement to the home's value.
Good luck!
