What goes wrong — and how to avoid it

Wrong intended user

An appraisal addressed to the wrong lender may not be transferable. Confirm the lender or panel before ordering.

Value coming in low

If the appraisal falls short of the purchase price, ask your broker about a Reconsideration of Value (ROV) before reordering.
