Where should information about property renovations be placed for visibility?

Placing information about property renovations in the Transmittal Letter to the client is appropriate because the Transmittal Letter serves as the initial communication between the appraiser and the client. It provides a summary of key details and findings of the appraisal, ensuring that important aspects like renovations are highlighted for immediate visibility. This makes it easier for the client to grasp significant updates regarding the property without having to dive deeply into the entire report.

In contrast, while the addendum of the review report can include supportive documentation or additional details pertinent to the appraisal process, it is not the first document the client reviews; hence, it may not afford the visibility needed for critical property updates. The Certification section typically contains affirmations regarding the appraisal and the appraiser's qualifications, which wouldn't typically include renovation details. Lastly, the Scope of Work description outlines the parameters of the appraisal but might not effectively flag renovations for the client's attention, as it can be more technical and detailed. Having this information readily in the Transmittal Letter ensures that the client is aware of renovations right off the bat, allowing for a clearer understanding of the property's current condition and value.
