Myth. Truth. Tip
Myth: I'm having an appraisal done so I need to clean the house to get a better value.
Truth: Unless you are considered a hoarder, and your home shows signs of a health and safety risk, a messy home won't affect value.
Tip: Before the appraiser arrives, open doors and turn on lights. Let us know if there is anyone in the home possibly still in a bedroom or bathroom.
As an appraiser we get it. Houses get messy. Maybe you have kids, or maybe you're moving and there are boxes everywhere. I guarantee a messy house won't effect value.
