In an unpredictable market, you may be juggling low inventory, multiple above-list offers, high interest rates, economic uncertainty, and anxious buyers or sellers. But how do you bridge the gap between your role and the appraiser’s, especially when escalation clauses and appraisal contingencies come into play? In this session, you’ll dive into the friction—and the opportunities—that arise when appraisers must follow USPAP and lender guidelines while you advocate for your clients. You’ll discover how to navigate a fast-moving market when comps are scarce, how appraisers approach rapid price changes, and how to confidently guide buyers willing to exceed list price. Most importantly, you’ll leave ready to anticipate the market’s next turn and prepare your clients for what’s ahead.
- When the comps aren’t there—what happens?
- When the market is moving quickly, what can an appraiser do?
- How should buyers be advised if going over listed price may mean the property will not appraise?
- What will happen when this cycle ends (and it will)?
