Inspection of the home, Be Prepared.
February 28th, 2008 10:45 AM

Most inspections, ah I call it a walkthrough, I don't like "Inspection"  ok walkthrough, here are some thoughts before the appraiser comes to visit.

Have your home clear of clutter, I'm not saying move everything out, just clear of boxes, storage items around the kitchen area. Know that the appraiser may take photos of the Kitchen, Bathroom and Living or family room. Its not really a requirement for interior photos.  Lenders caught on to reports with photos so now its the norm.

Have the exterior free of debris around the walkway or cut/trim trees around the home. This gives the lender a full view of the home. Remove all vehicles from the front of the home.

Pictures show damage as well so if there is something hidden, please do not ask the appraiser not to mention it. Lenders want all the information they can so they can make an educated decision about the thousands of dollars they are approving for a loan. If your home needs repairs, let the Mortgage company Loan Officer know as there are different Loan programs out there for rehab type loans. A straight up Refi or purchase, the home should be well maintained. If possible, make repairs before your walk through and have receipts ready.

Mahalo for stopping by.

Next month I will have information on why we compare the most recent sales in your neighborhood to your home and why you need proper maintenance.
