Clarify the purpose before scheduling
Ask whether the report is for negotiation, mediation or another use. Confirm the required valuation date and who will engage the appraiser. If both parties expect to use one report, discuss that arrangement with the attorney and appraiser before proceeding.
Request a scope and fee
Provide the Woodbury address, property type, approximate size, known unusual features and deadline. Ask who will perform the appraisal, what the report includes and when delivery can be expected.
If the matter may need a deposition or testimony, identify that need at the start. Those services and their availability should be discussed separately.
Prepare access and records
Arrange access to the areas the appraiser needs to see. Gather the surveys, plans, prior appraisals and dated improvement list you already have. For a past valuation date, include photographs or records that show the home's condition then.
Explain known defects and later changes openly. The appraiser needs an accurate account of the property to develop an independent value.
Read the report and raise factual questions
Check the address, property description, effective date and intended use. If you or your attorney identify an error or relevant information that may have been missed, ask how to submit it for review. A different expectation about value alone does not establish an error.
