Dear Realtors,


May I introduce myself to you as the real estate appraiser that the buyer's lender has contacted to do an appraisal on your listings. I’m reaching out to acquire some additional information about your listing.  

Could you provide a list of any improvements that have occurred to the above-mentioned property.  That might include if the basement is finished or unfinished, if any recent addition has been constructed, or if any general remodeling or improvements within the past five years, that's not mentioned in the questionnaire below.     

PLEASE CREATE A SEPERATE WORD DOCUMENT (.DOC) OR A (.PDF) DOCUMENT and forward that document to the email address listed below. This attachment will be inserted directly into the appraisal report. Also, the attachment might be the best route to get your list of improvements and opinions directly in front of and read by the lenders' underwriter.

Please forward to:   info@seward-realestate.com

It might be best to forward this email attachment onto your homeowner for them to complete.

Realtor, Please Note: 

Please include the comparable (s) MLS# that you used before determining the market value of your listing. You can include those listings in a separate (.DOC) or (.PDF) document to accompany your improvement list. They will be considered for the appraisal report.
