How Sellers Can Prepare for an Appraisal Visit

An appraisal visit is different from a buyer showing, but clear access and accurate information still matter.

Coordinate the appointment through the appropriate transaction channels.

Make relevant areas accessible and address practical obstacles involving gates, animals, or locked structures.

Gather factual information about significant improvements, including dates and scope where available.

Your broker can help provide relevant property information through the proper process.

Avoid assuming receipts establish value dollar for dollar. Improvements are evaluated within the assignment and market context.

Do not conceal condition concerns or make unsupported claims.

If questions arise after the appraisal, discuss them with your broker and the appropriate lender or appraisal contact.

The goal is to support an orderly evaluation with accurate information, not to control the result.
