  3. Clean And Declutter Your Lawn  Your lawn doesn't necessarily affect your property value, but it can certainly set the tone for what an appraiser expects when he enters the house.  If you want to start with your best foot forward, clean up your lawn before the appraiser arrives.  Mow the lawn, get rid of stray weeds, put away any toys or objects cluttering things up, and ensure an overall tidy appearance. #whatanappraiserexpects

  4. Make Cosmetic Touch Ups Outside  The outside of your home is highly susceptible to weather which can wear and tear it, and this can devalue your home.  It is absolutely worth it to pay for a fresh coat of paint if yours is fading or peeling, because this will certainly affect the final appraisal price.  The more little details you can handle, the better your final value will be. #finalappraisalprice

  5. Fix The Little Things  The little things on the inside are just as important as those on the outside. If you have faulty fixtures, broken handles, peeling paint, or anything that is out of order, it will likely affect your final value.  Go over the inside of your home thoroughly before the appraiser arrives to ensure that these small things don't add up to a costly deduction from your property value. #appraiser

  6. Make A List Of Repairs And Updates To Point Out  If you have put time and money into repairing and updating your home, you certainly want to point these things out.  A talented appraiser may be able to spot updates and work, but you don't want him to miss anything that might raise the value of your home.  Make a list of any work you have done, and draw attention to it as the appraiser is going over your home. #valueofyourhome

  7. Put Away Your Pets  You want to make the appraiser's job as easy and comfortable as possible to give the right impression.  If you have friendly pets who will be underfoot or unfriendly pets who may be less than please with the intrusion of an appraiser, this is certainly something you want to deal with before the appraiser arrives. #unfriendlypets
