Description

Clear, accurate, and relevant communication with the appraiser is key to an agent’s support of their client and helping ensure a credible appraisal. Agents can, and should, provide factual data that may not be readily available to the appraiser. But what are the appropriate ways that agents can communicate with appraisers? When should this communication take place? What types of information should agents provide? And how can agents assist their clients initiate a reconsideration of value if there are errors in the appraisal? Join us for this conversation with E’Toile O’Rear-Libbett 2025, Chair of NAR’s Fair Housing Committee, and Maureen Sweeney, Chair of the Real Property Valuation Committee, as they discuss breaking down communication barriers between appraisers and agents.
