Know The Value – How to Read An Appraisal, Choose Better Comps and Fight A Low Value Effectively

Course Description:

Understanding how appraisals work is critical for protecting your clients and your transactions. This practical course teaches real estate agents how to read an appraisal report with confidence, choose and evaluate comparable sales like an appraiser, and respond professionally to a low appraisal. You’ll learn how appraisers develop opinions of value, what makes a comparable truly “comparable,” and how adjusted values—not raw sale prices—tell the real story.

Through case studies, sales comparison grid walkthroughs, and practical exercises, you’ll gain the skills to interpret appraiser logic, recognize credible data, and advocate effectively when needed. You’ll also learn how to submit a compelling, fact-based reconsideration of value (ROV) when an appraisal seems off base.

Whether you’re newer to the business or a seasoned pro, this course will help you stop guessing and start understanding what really drives an appraiser’s opinion of value.

Key Topics Include:

  • How appraisers choose comps and make adjustments
  • Understanding and interpreting the sales comparison grid
  • Fannie Mae guidelines for comparable sales
  • What agents can (and shouldn’t) do when communicating with appraisers
  • How to build a strong case when challenging a low appraisal
