It's not the appraiser's job anyway to meet the sales price or make sure that the loan works out. At the same time, there really have been some shoddy appraisals out there for a number of reasons. Any agents out there have some stories? Please share and let us know too about any "low appraisal" situation you have had and why you think market value was actually higher than appraised value. (and please read Patrick's article in this post.... it's helpful for the real estate industry).

Oh, I'm sure deals are getting killed. But that doesn't make the appraisal or appraiser bad. When I see the results of independent reviews of these alleged 'low-ball' appraisals, I will believe it. Until then it's only so much whining about not being able to twist the arm of the appraiser to hit a target value.
