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.

If possible, have your agent present in the house instead of being present yourself.</p></div>

Q: How do I prepare for an appraisal?

• <div><p>Ensure the property is clean, provide access to all areas, and supply relevant documents, such as recent upgrades or tax records.</p></div>

Q: How long does the appraisal process usually take?

• <div><p>Around 1-2 weeks, including inspection and reporting time for an official evaluation.</p></div>

Q: How much do you lose selling a house as-is?

• <div><p>In most cases, selling a home in as-is condition will lead to a sale price that&rsquo;s somewhere between 10% and 30% lower than normal. However, it&rsquo;s often worthwhile to sell at a loss because the alternative would be to pay for the repairs yourself, which could end up costing you more. Even if they didn&rsquo;t, selling as-is saves you from the time and energy you&rsquo;d spend coordinating the repairs.</p></div>

Super fast and knowledgeable. Did a retrospective appraisal going back to 2005 in less than 2 weeks. Couldn't find anyone else who would do it. Couldn't have been easier.
