About this episode

Kenny Simpson discusses the causes of low appraisals in real estate and provides actionable steps to take before and after an appraisal occurs.

Low appraisals are one of the biggest deal killers in real estate right now. In this video, I break down what actually causes a bad appraisal — and what you can do before and after it happens. Here’s what most people get wrong: • They don’t provide comps upfront • They don’t communicate with the appraiser • They don’t prep the property properly • They wait until the appraisal comes in low By then, you’re playing defense. I also cover: • How the appraisal process actually works • What you can (and can’t) say to an appraiser • How to properly rebuttal a low appraisal • Why working with the right lender matters About Kenny Simpson Kenny Simpson is a mortgage advisor and founder of The Simpson Team, specializing in 1–4 unit residential financing.
