THIS is the part of real estate people don’t always talk about. 🏡
My relocation clients were under contract in June, excited and ready to make their move. Then the VA appraisal came in lower than the contract price.
The seller ultimately allowed them to terminate the contract—and while that moment was disappointing, it was also a reminder that an appraisal doesn’t automatically determine what a seller has to accept.
VA appraisals are designed with strong protections for the buyer and tend to be more conservative in their valuation. When the value comes in low, both sides have options, and understanding those options is where having an experienced REALTOR® matters.
My clients could have let that experience discourage them.
Instead, they dusted themselves off, regrouped, and tried again.
And this time… WE FOUND THE ONE 🎉🏡
Congratulations to my clients on their new beginning! Relocation is already a major life transition. My job is to help you navigate the unexpected, protect your interests, and keep moving toward the goal.
