Thank you for your order!

What to expect after purchasing your real estate home appraisal online from Premier Home Appraisals.

Thank you for choosing Premier Home Appraisals for your Real Estate Home Appraisal. We look forward to meeting with you and completing a thorough inspection of the property, if applicable.

On the day of the inspection, please ensure that the appraiser has unobstructed access to the exterior perimeter of the home and all interior rooms and areas. If you have pets, we kindly ask that they be secured during the inspection to minimize distractions and allow the appraiser to safely access all areas of the property.

The appraisal inspection typically takes approximately 20–40 minutes, depending on the size, complexity, and features of the property.


HOME APPRAISAL CHECKLIST

The following checklist is designed to help you prepare for your appraisal inspection. Providing these items is optional, however providing relevant information can help ensure that the appraiser has a complete understanding of the property and its features.

The overall condition, quality, updates, and improvements to the property are considered as part of the appraisal process. You do not need to provide receipts or the costs associated with improvements.

• Improvements and Updates
Please provide a list of significant improvements or updates, along with the approximate year completed. Focus on higher-value or impactful items completed during your ownership. If you recently purchased the property, you may also include significant improvements made shortly before your purchase, if known.

Examples include kitchen and bathroom renovations; replacement or refinishing of flooring; interior or exterior painting; roof, window, water heater, or HVAC replacement; plumbing or electrical updates; garage doors; decks; and significant updates to fixtures, finishes, or hardware.

• Upgrades and Custom Features
Please identify notable upgrades or custom features that may not be readily apparent during the inspection. Examples may include builder upgrades, custom millwork, built-ins, wet bars, central vacuum systems, home theater systems, irrigation systems, upgraded kitchens or bathrooms, professional-grade appliances, upgraded flooring, iron balusters, and similar features.

• Exterior Amenities and Improvements
Please point out any significant exterior features or amenities, including sheds, barns, ponds, swimming pools, decks, patios, fencing, equestrian improvements, pavilions, outdoor kitchens, or other permanent improvements.

• HOA Information
If the property is subject to a homeowners association, please provide the current HOA fee and indicate whether it is paid monthly, quarterly, or annually. If known, please also provide a brief description of what the fee includes.

• Additional Lots or Parcels
Please notify us if there are any additional lots or parcels that are intended to be included as part of the appraisal. If available, please provide the parcel identification numbers, addresses, surveys, plats, or other information identifying the additional property. This is important so we can confirm the appropriate property and parcels to be considered in the appraisal.

• Surveys, Plats, or Blueprints
If available, you may provide a survey, plat, floor plan, or blueprint showing property boundaries, dwelling measurements, or other improvements.

• Previous Appraisals
You may provide copies of previous appraisals if available.

• Additions and Conversions
Please identify any additions, finished areas, conversions, or other significant modifications to the property. If known, please indicate whether the appropriate permits and approvals were obtained.

• Location Features
Please let us know about any location-related features or amenities that may not be readily apparent during the inspection. Examples may include convenient access to walking or biking trails, parks, green spaces, public transportation, schools, community amenities, or other desirable neighborhood features.

Thank you for helping us prepare for your appraisal inspection. Providing this information allows our appraiser to better understand the property and helps ensure that relevant features, improvements, and amenities are appropriately considered during the appraisal process.
