Ever wish you could ask an Appraiser why?
“Why did the appraisal come in low?”
“What really makes a comp comparable?”
“Do upgrades actually matter?”
“What can a listing agent do to help the appraisal process?”
“And what should you do when you simply don't agree with the value?”
Or maybe you've wanted to sit across from an Underwriter and ask:
"Why in the world are you asking for THAT?"
This is your chance.
Join Bill Gaylord for a candid, panel-style conversation with two experts who see what happens behind the scenes of real estate transactions every day:
Brent Jones, CEO of R3 AMC
One of Las Vegas' leading appraisal authorities, Brent will discuss answer the appraisal questions agents ask all the time, upcoming changes in the appraisal world, and what they could mean for Realtors and their clients.
Julie Donald, Regional Underwriting Manager at Guild Mortgage
Julie will take us behind the curtain of mortgage underwriting, including what underwriters are really looking for, common issues that can derail a transaction, and what Realtors can do to help get more deals smoothly to the closing table.
We're Putting the Experts on the Spot!
We'll talk about:
• Upcoming changes in the appraisal industry
• What Realtors can and can't do during the appraisal process
• What makes a good comp and what doesn't
• Reconsiderations of value and challenging an appraisal
• Property conditions that can create lending problems
• What underwriters wish Realtors and buyers knew
• Common mistakes that can delay or derail a closing
• And the questions YOU bring to the room
This isn't 90 minutes of PowerPoint presentations.
It's a conversation.
Bring your toughest appraisal and underwriting questions and ask the people who actually make these decisions every day.
