5 Steps To A Better Appraisal


If you’re looking to refinance your home or possibly sell, you’ll need a killer appraisal. A bank will not refinance a home for more than it is worth, and a potential buyer will not pay more than the recognized value of the home.  Use these tips and you’ll get a better value for your home.

Tidy your space 
Make sure your yard looks well-groomed and the interior of your home is clean clutter-free.

Invest in the right types of renovations 
Kitchens and bathrooms are the best types of renovations. They will typically provide 80% ROI. High-efficiency appliances and upgrades that improve the overall efficiency of the home are well worth the investment.

Document your upgrades 
Provide the appraiser with a list and documentation of all upgrades, renovations, and improvements to the home.

Do your homework 
Research and provide your own comparable valuations for similar properties in the area. Note your tone. You don’t want to come off as defensive but rather helpful.

Your agent should be available but not in the way.
