Why Have A Buyer’s Agent When Purchasing New Construction

DISPUTING LOW APPRAISAL VALUES ON YOUR HOME

1. Obtain your own “full” copy of the appraisal. Review with your real estate agent.

2. Review for mistakes…did the appraiser place your home in the wrong neighborhood?

Was less square footage calculated? Fewer bedrooms/bathrooms? Upgrades missed?

3. Review for comparisons with similar properties in which you might find disagreement.

Comparison categories that might be inaccurate…age; square footage; amenities;

lot size; neighborhood location; condition; custom vs track style; school district.

4. Did the appraiser know the difference in your neighborhood’s appeal vs another?

5. Was the appraiser able to locate all permits for improvements done to your home?

6. Work with your real estate agent to find your own comparable homes to shine

a better light on the value of your home.

7. Politely petition the appraiser for another appraisal.

8. Usually, you can hire another appraiser yourself.
