Eagle Home Appraisal Mt Holly

    Does cleanliness affect a home appraisal?

    Not really. Everyday clutter does not matter to us. What matters is damage, and whether we can get through the house.

    Clutter is not damage

    Clothes, toys and dishes do not change the size, age or layout of a house. We do not count them.

    Water damage, mold, peeling paint or a strong odor is different. Those point to a problem with the property, and we write them down as that. They are not a cleanliness score.

    Clear a path

    The one thing that does get in the way is a blocked doorway or a room we cannot see into. Please clear a path to the areas we need.

    If a room is locked, or something cannot be moved, tell us ahead of time. We will work out a plan.

    What helps most

    • Keep the rooms reachable.
    • Pull together records of big repairs, additions and renovations, with dates.
    • Tell us about known damage and repairs already done.

    A tidy house is easier to walk through. But a deep cleaning will not raise the number, so save your energy.
