🚫 Key Points to Avoid During a Home Appraisal

1. 💰 Don't Discuss Your Home's Value

   • Avoid saying, "I believe the house is worth more," or referencing online estimates. Let the appraiser form their own opinion.

2. 🏘️ Don't Compare to Other Homes

   • Refrain from mentioning, "A similar home sold for much higher." Appraisers rely on their own data and comparisons.

3. 🛠️ Don't Mention DIY Work Without Proof

   • If you've made improvements yourself, provide documentation or permits. Unverified DIY work can raise concerns.

4. 📅 Don't Say You've Scheduled Another Appraisal

   • This can appear distrustful and may influence the appraiser's independence.

5. 👣 Don't Follow or Pressure the Appraiser

   • Allow the appraiser to work without distractions. Constant questions or pressure can hinder their process.

✅ What to Do Instead

• Be Honest About Major Issues: If asked about significant problems like structural issues, be truthful.

• Provide Relevant Information: Share facts about the home, neighborhood, and any improvements.

• Respect the Appraiser's Process: Trust their expertise and allow them to conduct a thorough evaluation.
