Frequently Asked Questions
What does an appraiser do?
An appraiser provides an unbiased, independent, objective professional opinion of a property’s market value based on the market data which typically includes the analysis of comparable sales and listings and market trends.
How long does an appraisal take?
A typical residential appraisal inspection takes 25–45 minutes. Reports are generally delivered within 2–3 business days depending on complexity.
Do I need to clean my house before the appraisal?
A clean home doesn’t increase value directly, but it helps the appraiser observe the property’s true condition and leaves a positive impression. The appraiser has a trained eye to look past clutter and personal belongings.
Can I be present during the appraisal?
Yes. Homeowners are welcome to attend the inspection, point out upgrades, and ask questions about the process.
What factors influence a property’s value?
Location, size, condition, age, amenities, and current market data (comparable sales, trends, listings) all impact value.
What if I disagree with the appraised value?
If you believe the report is inaccurate, you may request a reconsideration of value by providing additional data, sales, or supporting documentation.
Do appraisers consider remodeling or upgrades?
Yes. Quality upgrades and renovations are analyzed for their contribution to market value compared with other homes in your area.
How far do appraisers look for comparable sales?
Generally within the same neighborhood or similar market area, though the distance may vary depending on property type and data availability. This is a nuanced question with variable answers depending on the subject property.
What should I do to prepare for an appraisal?
Ensure all areas are accessible, replace burnt-out bulbs, and provide a list of recent improvements or major upgrades. This helps the appraiser document the home accurately. Replacing missing light switch or outlet receptacle covers and repairing flaking paint can help prevent common lender-required repair items.
