We're trying to buy a small beach place using a home equity loan. Any last minute tips on things to do before the inspection and appraisal?

Get in the appraisers ear and let him know all the positives of your house that he might overlook

And lube up beforehand, it won't bepleasant

Just make sure your wife is lubed up and ready to go

Tell him your neighbor is a Nazi with boatloads of fertilizer, if he ever needs to borrow any.

Kind of short notice, huh?
Lights, lots of lights turned on?

Make sure you duck tape the chandelier that's hanging over the dining/tv/entertainment/bedroom TV trays.

Have the 79 Trans Am moved off of the cinder blocks from the front yard and cut the grass.

Appraisers absolutely love pets so make sure he knows you have raccoons living in the walls. Should add six figures to the value. Best of luck!

Bake cookies and put them in the air return so it fills the house with that smell.
If your wife is good looking, when showing the appraiser the bathroom have her completely naked waiting in there.

It's about comps and condition of your home

It's nicer than the Auburn Library and has room for more than one half-eaten coloring book.

For an appraisal, start making a list of upgrades you've made to the house recently. This includes appliances, etc.
If someone is coming to do a house inspection (not an appraisal) it's kind of late now but make sure all the light bulbs in the house work, turn your AC down low, clean the grids on your exterior AC condenser either by hand or with a hose. If any sinks drain slowly, go buy a cheap plastic drain clearer from Home Depot and reem out the sink. Clean out your gutters. Clean your oven so that when they set it to Broil it won't cause a smoke cloud. Make sure all of your smoke detectors have fresh batteries and are functioning.

All great suggestions. The OT delivers again.

Go to your county's appraiser web site and see what they value it at. Maybe look at another site too, there are several of them out there.

If it is a good appraiser, not much you can do at this point. It is what it is. Clean everything up & smile - be friendly. Depending on the appraiser, a BJ might help. Depending on the appraiser, you might score higher than the wife. Be prepared
