How should I prepare for a home appraisal?
Provide access to every room, the attic and crawl space if accessible, and outbuildings. Have a list of updates with dates and costs, any survey or plat, and information on acreage, leases or easements. Fix small safety items like missing smoke detectors if a lender loan is involved.
