Preparation Guide

How to Prepare for Your Appraisal

A well-prepared property means a smoother inspection and a faster report. Here's everything you need to know before Stephen arrives.

Access & Entry

✓Ensure all rooms, closets, and the attic hatch are accessible
✓Unlock the basement and any outbuildings (garage, shed)
✓Provide garage door openers or entry codes in advance
✓If a tenant is present, give them advance notice

Documents to Have Ready

✓List of recent upgrades with year completed and cost (roof, HVAC, kitchen, windows)
✓Any renovation permits or final inspections
✓Survey or plot plan (if available)
✓Condo status certificate or maintenance fee records (condos only)

Day-Of Preparation

✓Secure or remove pets from the property during the visit
✓Clear access to the electrical panel, furnace, and water heater
✓Remove clutter that blocks corners, closets, or storage areas
✓No need to deep clean — appraiser values condition, not cosmetics

Pro Tips From Stephen

✓Point out unique features the appraiser might not see (new insulation, backup generator, etc.)
✓Don't try to influence the value — it's a professional, objective process
✓The inspection takes 30–60 minutes — you don't need to follow the appraiser around
✓Have questions after? Stephen is available 7am–9pm, 7 days a week
