When your appraisal report is completed and delivered to your lender, your lender will forward a copy to you. When this happens, you may receive an email that looks like this.
In the Documents Included section, you will find a link to your Appraisal. Click this link.
When you click the Appraisal link, you will be taken to a secure web page to make sure that you can view and download your appraisal report in an Adobe Acrobat Reader PDF file. This is a data security process that helps make sure your appraisal is only displaying to you.
For more information about accessing the Reconsideration of Value (ROV) Disclosure and how to submit an ROV request, please refer to the Borrower Initiated Reconsideration of Value (ROV) Process article.
