An appraisal estimates your home's market value, typically required by the buyer's lender. A clean, well-presented home supports an accurate valuation.
Ensure the appraiser can access all areas of the home, including attics, crawlspaces and mechanical systems.
Provide a list of recent improvements and repairs, with documentation where available.
Tidy the property and address any obvious maintenance issues that could affect perception.
While you can't control the appraisal outcome, good preparation helps the appraiser see your home's full value.
