How can the homeowner validate the authenticity of the email notification?
The appraiser will include the lender’s name and the loan reference number while initiating the appraisal order, and is included in the email notification that the homeowner receives. Both these are confidential details in mortgage processing, and so helps the homeowner verify that the appraiser is authorized to do the appraisal by the lender.
In addition, the appraiser’s contact information is included in the email and the homeowner can call / text them to obtain the necessary verification.
