The appraisal is one of the most misunderstood parts of buying or selling a home. Here’s what actually happens and what to do if the number doesn’t go your way.

What an appraiser looks at: - Recent comparable sales nearby - Square footage and layout - Condition and upkeep - Location - Upgrades (kitchen, bathrooms, systems)

Why it matters: the lender won’t loan more than the appraised value.

If it comes in low, you have four options:

1. Renegotiate the price. Ask the seller to lower the sale price to match. Happens more than people think.

2. Cover the gap. Pay the difference in cash. Common in competitive markets where buyers agree to this upfront.

3. Dispute the appraisal. Challenge it with comparable sales the appraiser may have missed.

4. Walk away. If your contract has an appraisal contingency, you can exit and get your earnest money back.

One more thing: an appraisal is NOT a home inspection. Completely separate. Appraisal = market value. Inspection = condition. You need both.

If you’re curious about the value of your home, DM me. Let’s talk through it!

If you're still pricing your Nashville home like it's 2022, you might be setting yourself up for failure.

Many sellers believe listing 10% higher gives them room to negotiate, but in today’s market, it actually leads to zero offers. Savvy buyers are interest-rate sensitive and will simply scroll right past an overpriced listing.

Your first two weeks on the market are critical, so don't squander that time with an unrealistic price.

If you want a strategic, data-backed plan to get your home sold, send me a message and let’s talk.

Now priced to sell at $899,900!

Rare redevelopment opportunity in one of Nashville’s most desirable neighborhoods. Zoned for two homes on a spacious lot just minutes from 12 South, Belmont, and Vanderbilt. Existing home conveys as-is. Ideal opportunity for builders looking to capitalize on continued demand for new construction.

We started with a tenant-occupied property and an out-of-state seller, which meant there were several moving pieces before we could position the home to sell.

Once the tenants moved out, we got to work:
• Coordinated necessary repairs
• Adjusted the staging and presentation
• Hosted 2 open houses
• Generated 15 private showings
• Ran targeted digital advertising
• Mailed postcards to the surrounding area
• Personally called agents who had recently sold homes in the neighborhood

The result? UNDER CONTRACT after 27 days on the market.

Selling a home takes more than putting it in the MLS and waiting. It takes a strategy, consistent follow-up, and the willingness to adjust when needed.

If you’re thinking about selling—or your home didn’t sell the first time—I’d be happy to show you what a proactive marketing plan can look like.

Some changes are coming for condo financing that could impact your plans.

Limited Reviews Are Going Away
> Many condo projects that previously qualified under a Limited Review will now require a Full Project Review
>Full Reviews require more documentation from the HOA and property management company.

Reserve Funding Requirements Increase (Effective January 4, 2027)
>HOAs must allocate at least 15% of their annual budget to reserves.
>Projects that don't meet the new requirement may require additional review before financing can move forward (and/or may not qualify for traditional financing).

Key Takeaways:
>Expect condo transactions to require more upfront due diligence.
>Encourage sellers to gather HOA documents early, and buyers should work with a lender familiar with condo financing to identify potential issues before they become closing delays.

DM with any questions. As always, I'm here to help!
