Selling your home can sometimes seem like a marathon instead of a sprint. Your first step is finding a REALTOR® that you feel confident in that when you hand them the baton, they will get you to the finish line. Your REALTOR® will game plan with you discussing the multiple hurdles you will have to clear going forward. (Ok, I am done with my track and field analogies now!)
But then you receive notification that the buyer’s lender is sending out someone to do an appraisal on your property. Wait, they already did inspections so why is there an appraiser coming out to inspect the home?
appraiser will simply come into your home to do measurements and take a few pictures of the property. The appraiser is simply there to take a "snapshot" of the house in order to do a comparison with other homes in the area. You could clean every nook and cranny and it wouldn't do a thing to increase the appraisal value.
So, the answer to "how to prepare for your appraisal
of your home" is to simply not worry about it
and go on with your day as normal. Once the appraisal is complete the buyer’s lender will make a call to the bullpen and bring in the closer. (As we are going into October, I figured it was appropriate to end with a baseball one!)
