How can I assist my Appraiser?

It's to your advantage to help the Appraiser perform the assessment by providing additional information:

• What is the purpose for the appraisal?
• Is the property listed for sale, and if so, for what price and with whom?
• Is there a mortgage? And if so, with whom, when placed, for how much and what type (FHA, VA, etc.), at what interest rate, or other type of financing?
• Are any personal properties or appliances included in the property?
• With an income-producing property, what is the income breakdown and expenses for the last year or two? A copy of the lease may be required.
• Provide a copy of the deed, survey, purchase agreement, or additional property papers.
• Provide a copy of the current real estate tax bill, statement of special assessments, or balance owed on anything, i.e. sewer, water, etc.
