Re: Home Appraisal - How to Increase

We had a crapload of junk in our basement, and the house appraised for higher than I thought it would. So I don't think the junk/appearance matters at all. They're just looking at the amount of living space.

Probably the cheapest way to get a higher appraisal is to slip the guy a $100 bill.

Well, if the bank loan officer is getting a commission/bonus for writing the refi, he may tell the appraiser he'll share some of the money if the appraiser comes up with a number to lower the loan:value ratio. So that may be why company B produced a higher appraisal.
