Prepare your home before the appraiser arrives If you’re preparing to refinance or sell your home, you’ll want to ensure your home is in tip-top shape before it is appraised. Preparing properly for your home appraisal is crucial to getting a high appraisal value – and more dollars in your pocket.

HOW DOES A HOME APPRAISAL WORK? On the day of your scheduled visit, a licensed home appraiser will evaluate your home by going from room to room, assessing its condition. He will also take upgrades into account and do a comparison of other homes in your neighborhood. In the end, you’ll get an appraiser’s report. If you’re selling, you can use this document to decide your asking price. If you’re refinancing, you’ll now be able to determine how much equity you have.

Before the appraiser comes knocking at your door, however, you need to be prepared. The higher your appraisal value the better, so we have put together a list of tasks to help maximize your home’s market value.

Make any repairs necessary

Enhance curb appeal

If your home needs any small repairs at the time of the appraisal, that will have a negative impact on your outcome. Make sure all door latches and handles work properly, carpet does not look worn out (replace if necessary), plumbing is operable, and all windows work effectively. Not fixing these can make your home look older than it really is, so do everything you can to avoid that.

The front of your house is the first thing the appraiser will see when pulling into the driveway, so it should be dressed to impress. First, look at the outside of your home as a whole – do you see any peeling paint, damaged gutters, siding, bricks, or mortar? Address all these issues. Then tackle the lawn by mowing, trimming, and cleaning up the weeds or dead plants. Make sure all tools or equipment are out of sight. The front porch and driveway should also be free of any debris, like leaves and sticks.

Update light fixtures

If the light fixtures throughout your home are worn and outdated, then it’s a good idea to update them before the appraiser arrives. Don’t spend too much in this category, though!

Freshen up walls

Depending on how long you’ve lived in your current home, there are probably some chips and holes in your walls. They may also be a little faded. Freshen up these areas with some spackle and a new coat of paint.

Prepare your home for an appraiser like you would for an interested buyer. Make any updates or repairs necessary, clean everything, and keep track of all the updates that you’ve made. A licensed appraiser will take everything into consideration in determining your home’s true market value.

BES S T WAY S T O REM MO VE T OUGH CAR RPET STAINS A by Sean Hansen

Before you start Before

applying any of these methods, be sure to test the technique on way just in case.

Borax

Damp the stain area with water and clean with borax and a bush. Let dry and then vacuum clean.

Baking Soda Steam Cleaning

If you have the cash to rent or buy a steam cleaner this is often the quickest, most effective method. Just swing by your local hardware store, pick one up with some cleaning solvent and follow the included instructions to steam away any pet, wine, coffee, or blood stains you may have.

Vinegar and Water

If

- ing then you can make your own mixtures to eliminate stains. For common stains like beer, soda, ink or ice cream use a mixture of Âź teaspoon of white vinegar mixed with 32 oz of water in a spray bottle. Spritz the mixture onto the stains in question and gently dab them away. In case of pet stains increase the vinegar ratio to Âź cup per 32oz.

This can work great for grease stains and foul smelling odors.

Wine

In the case of a highly y acidic compound try a tablespoon ammonia mixed with 1 cup of water, unless your carpett is wool based. You can also use the borax method (or use the same technique with salt).

Pet stains Resolve or other carpet detergents This is

my personal favorite way to

designed to work with a steam

work just as well on its own by spraying on the effected area and sopping up with a towel for quick spot cleaning. OxiClean works well in a pinch too.

Blood

Use a vinegar-water mixture but be sure to use cold water. The colder the better. This will help stop the blood from clumping together and will let you clean it off much more ef it into the carpeting and be pa

using borax to sop it up.

If you have a biohazard situation on yourr to do is clean up the initial mess s by sopping it up with a towel (take care not to grind it into the carpet though). Throw away y any physical waste and use the e vinegar-water solution to dab up any residue and treat any odor.

the smell or the stain, then you should probably try the Baking Soda method I mentioned earlier.

Ink Stains

Soak a cloth in Isopropyl alcohol and dab to the worry about staining the car pet—Isopropyl evaporates into the air at room temperature.
