Question by Mr Yankee: Appraisal to refinance mortgage for a home remodel, any tips?
I am having my home appraised Thursday. Other than tidying the place up is there anything I can do to help elevate the appraisal? Does an appraiser physically check the house like a home inspector? Do they verify that all appliances are working? Are they climbing on the roof etc? Thanks

No, all they check is sq. footage, number of Bdrms, baths and cosmetic condition. So if you have holes in the wall and water stains on the ceiling or leaking faucets, fix them.
