Buyer warned after agent dismisses low appraisal concern
Original: Buyer expects low appraisal, and agent's 'just use financing' advice raises red flags
A homebuyer who expected the property to appraise below the agreed price questioned their agent, who allegedly brushed off the concern by telling them to 'just use financing'. The advice is being flagged as problematic, since a low appraisal can reduce the loan amount a lender offers, potentially forcing the buyer to cover the gap in cash or renegotiate the deal.
Why now: Rising concern among homebuyers about appraisal gaps and questionable agent advice in a shifting housing market.
