What is involved in making an appointment for a site visit?
Once the client s appraisal request is received, arrangements are made to visit the property. The interior of all living units must be viewed. Usually, the client gives us the name of a contact person who is then telephoned by our coordinator to arrange an appointment time. This visit is done during normal working hours. We usually look at properties in the morning and work on appraisals in the afternoon. Our office does not make site visits on weekends or evenings. It is not necessary for the owner/occupant to be present during the site visit. If the owner/occupant is not available, common solutions include using keys, leaving doors open or having a third party let us in.
