    How Long Will An Appraiser Be At My House?

    The time an appraiser spends at your house depends on several factors. Ask for an appointment estimate for the particular property.

  1. Size and Complexity of the Property: Larger or more complex properties can require additional time to observe and document.
  2. Scope of the Appraisal: Appraisers may measure rooms, document upgrades, take interior and exterior photographs and ask questions about the property. More features can mean more work.
  3. Appraiser’s Preparation: Research before the appointment can make the on-site visit more efficient.
  4. Access and Preparation: Ensuring the property is accessible, with lights on and pets secured, can help the appraiser complete their work efficiently.
  5. After the visit, the appraiser spends additional time researching comparable sales and preparing the report. Confirm the expected delivery date separately.
