Episode 064 - Can You Get a New Appraiser or Appraisal Report?
If I get asked once a day, it seems like its a hundred times a day, “Can I get a new appraiser or appraisal report?” No! No you can’t and get over it. Okay, just kidding, but seriously, probably not.
Bad appraisers and bad appraisal reports do happen and try as you might, you can’t get them changed. There are a few instances where you might pull off the hail mary and actually be able to change one of them up though.
Listen in to hear if you might have a chance with another appraiser or a new appraisal report.
