Appraisal Observation Checklist
Create a custom Appraisal Observation Checklist 2015 that meets your industry’s specifications.
What an appraisal observation checklist does
An Appraisal Observation Checklist records the conditions, details, and review points an appraiser observes during an assessment. It gives the appraiser a structured place to document findings, identify missing information, and obtain acknowledgments from responsible reviewers. With signNow, a prepared checklist can be uploaded, its fillable areas reviewed, and signature or date fields added before it is sent electronically. Recipients can review and sign from a browser or mobile device, while the completed document and audit trail provide a record of the signing event.
Who uses this appraisal checklist
Appraisers
Appraisers use the checklist to record observed conditions, supporting notes, and review details during property or asset assessments. signNow keeps the completed document organized for sharing with clients, supervisors, lenders, or project records without requiring paper circulation.
Review teams
Real estate teams, lenders, inspectors, and property managers can review the same observation record, request signatures, and preserve a clear completion history. Access controls and audit trails help distinguish prepared information from later approvals or acknowledgments.

Features for appraisal observation records
signNow connects the checklist’s observation, review, signature, and retention steps in one electronic workflow without changing the information the appraiser records.
Structured observations
Place appraisal observations, reviewer comments, dates, and signatures in one structured document. This reduces transcription between paper notes and the final record while keeping the completed checklist easy to share.
Field detection
Upload the checklist and review automatically detected fillable areas before sending. Add or adjust fields when the original document needs signer names, dates, acknowledgments, or approval points.
Role-based routing
Route the checklist to an appraiser, reviewer, client, or other participant in the required order. Each recipient receives the fields assigned to that role rather than editing unrelated sections.
Audit trail
Collect electronic signatures and preserve the completed checklist with an audit trail. The record can show signing activity, timestamps, and document history for later review.
Reusable template
Use a reusable checklist template when the same observation process recurs across properties or assignments. Templates help maintain consistent field placement without changing the underlying observations.
Mobile access
Review and complete the checklist from a desktop or mobile device. Mobile access is useful when observations occur on-site and the reviewer is away from an office.
Platform requirements for the checklist
Appraisal Observation Checklist can be prepared in a browser using Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge on Windows or macOS. signNow also provides mobile apps for iOS and Android, allowing reviewers to access and sign the checklist from supported mobile devices.

Appraisal checklist troubleshooting
Resolve field, routing, signature, compliance, and retention questions before sending an Appraisal Observation Checklist for review.
Upload the original Appraisal Observation Checklist as a supported document, then inspect the detected fields before sending. If a box or signature area is missing, add the appropriate field manually and verify its placement against the source checklist.
Use role-based routing when the appraiser, reviewer, and client complete different sections. Assign each signer only the fields they must complete, then confirm the signing order before sending the appraisal checklist.
The Business plan provides templates, audit trails, mobile apps, and legally binding eSignatures at $8/user/month when billed annually. Business Premium adds bulk send at $15/user/month under the same billing basis.
signNow states that its electronic signatures comply with ESIGN and UETA. Legal effect still depends on demonstrated intent, consent, attribution, and the ability to retain and reproduce the completed appraisal record under 15 U.S.C. chapter 96 and applicable state law.
For records containing protected health information, signNow identifies HIPAA compliance as requiring a business associate agreement. Confirm that the appraisal workflow actually involves PHI before applying healthcare controls or retention policies.
Export the completed checklist and audit trail after signing, then store them under the organization’s record policy. signNow provides audit trails, while the applicable business, contractual, or state requirement determines how long the appraisal record must remain available.
