Q: Can I be present during the home appraisal?

• <div><p>You can be present during a home appraisal, but it&rsquo;s best to stay out of the appraiser&rsquo;s way. Make yourself available, but don&rsquo;t engage or interrupt, and don&rsquo;t discuss value or your target sales price. If possible, have your agent present in the house instead of being present yourself.</p></div>

Q: Can professionals appraise unique or non-traditional properties?

• <div><p>Yes, experienced appraisers handle a variety of property types with tailored methods.</p></div>

Q: How long is an FHA appraisal good for?

• <div><p>An FHA appraisal is valid for 180 days from the effective date of the report. In some cases, you can have the appraisal recertified if you make your request before the original expires so that you still may obtain an FHA loan. If approved, your appraisal update is valid for one year.</p></div>

Q: Are appraisals required for selling a property?

• <div><p>Appraisals are not mandatory but are helpful for pricing accuracy and negotiation purposes.</p></div>

Q: What if I can’t find any records of when my house was built?

• <div><p>If you can&rsquo;t find any records online, you&rsquo;ll need to contact your county clerk&rsquo;s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time. </p></div>
