A looming shortage of real estate appraisers is poised to stretch out the time it takes to complete real estate transactions in the coming years, according Scott DiGregorio.
The Fort, Myers, Florida, mortgage broker and real estate educator joins us on the podcast today to discuss the currrent state of the appraisal business — how it works and the many challenges its practioners face.
Scott says home appraising is more art than science and how emotion can sometimes kill a deal if the buyer and seller disagree on whether an appraisal is fair. He also touches on what sellers can do do assure a fair appraisal, such as staging the property or even just adding a new coat of paint.
Host: Jim Sanville. Producer: Jerry Johnson.
