The eternal question: to meet or NOT to meet the appraiser. What is your process and expection (I'd love to hear from all you APPRAISERS out there too!)
CAMP A: "LEAVE THEM ALONE!"
This group often says "let them do their job." Appraisers have their OWN comps, often more in-depth than agents can pull because they have access to the FSBO homes. All you crazy Realtors try to "sell the house" to the appraiser, which just gets on their nerves. Get out of their way and let them do their assessment.
CAMP B: "YOU MUST MEET THEM!"
This group feels it is our professional responsibility to meet the appraiser and make ourselves available to point out any items of the home which may be overlooked. Also, it may be good for the agent to be on-site in case there are any requirements that come up or any discrepencies which need to be discussed.
Every agent is different and every appraiser is different. I'm curious what your personal thoughts are. Please comment and share with the audience!
