I personally do not do that unless the appraiser asks me for any comps in the area. It is best to let them do their job and if they do not appraise the property, then I would talk to the appraiser and see if his comps match mine. It's a delicate subject since there are many new rules now days; lenders cannot tallk to appraisers, appraisers may not even talk to realtors. The best thing to do is get very good comparables and keep handy in case you need them if the property does not appraise.
