errors in home appraisal

Jeffrey David Halpern answered:
Obviously the appraiser got it wrong when he compared it to the wrong community. You can either appeal it or if you want, stick with it and try to renegotiate with the seller. I believe that if you want this house however, and not to upset the seller, appeal and have it re-appraised. - Thu Jul 2 2009, 08:47
Jeffrey David Halpern answered:
Although I am not a Fla. Realtor, FHA requirements are the same thruout. The complex must be FHA approved. Some developers will get the approval prior to construction. There is a cost to them and therefore many do not. The other way is that it fits within their guidelines which is 70% owner occupied and verified by the management company. - Thu Jul 2 2009, 08:44
Jeffrey David Halpern answered:
Why do you need a certification? Do you think it would actually bring you more business? Keep reading up on it, go to seminars, but most importantly get out there and just sell or list short sales. There is no better certification than experience doing it. Once you have that, start your own certification course. Or just make money actually doing it. - Tue Jun 30 2009, 09:02

Make the offer and see what they come back with.
A seller's motivation changes constantly. One minute they are insulted, the next they consider it. But a dialogue must start with a written offer. - Tue Jun 30 2009, 08:58
Jeffrey David Halpern answered:
Your only intelligent offer is one based on the comps. If you love the house you may be willing to raise your offer, but be aware that the appraisal my not workout. However, besides comps. some appraisers also look at other factors includng condition, contingencies, and your personal needs.
As far as lowball. NEVER feel you will insult the owner. An seller's motivation changes constantly. One minute they would be upset about an offer, the next they need to take that offer. Today, owners should be ecstatic to get any offer. It may not work out, but it starts a dialogue. Buyers still cannot steal a home, but if your agent represents you in a way that gives validity to that offer and the seller's agent has been true to their client of where the market is, coupled that with a seller that wants to sell and a buyer that wants to buy, you will come to a meeting of the minds.
Good Luck!!!
