Start the conversation
- 01
Identify the property
Share its address, property type and any changes you think affect its condition.
- 02
Ask for the evidence
Discuss which comparable sales would be relevant and how they differ from the home.
- 03
Review the assumptions
Ask about the date of the information and the limits of any estimate before relying on it.
Questions to bring
- How similar are the selected properties in size, condition and location?
- Are the comparisons asking prices or completed sales?
- Do you need a formal appraisal for a lender or another specific purpose?
