I have been in real estate arena since 2001, beginning my real estate journey in mortgages. I also helped my husband with his construction company; from designing the floor plans to picking out colors and finishes.

I love lending a helping hand to people searching for the home they can love and grow in. My love for the industry is about selling the home, and sharing the experience. The look on a new friends face when I can hand them the keys to their new life, is priceless to me. I have a wide breath of experience in order to help my clients achieve whatever goal they set out for. I can help an investor who wants to flip the perfect fixer-upper, a dreamer who want's to build an exotic and beautiful home, and or a client who wants only the simple straw-bale home life. Call me and I will take great care of you, I am here to help. My specialties: Buyers, Sellers, First Time Home Buyer, Investment Property, Foreclosure, Relocation, Real Estate, Springfield Homes, Horse Property, Land, Commercial Property, Acreage Homes, Cash Buyer, Fast Closing, As is, and Rehab. I work in: Ozark, Willard, Nixa, Rogersville, and surrounding areas

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

In cases where an appraisal comes in lower than an offer price, sellers might opt to lower their asking price to meet the appraisal, especially if the market is slow, and replacing the offer with a higher one may take a long time. Sellers can also offer to make repairs to boost the appraised value, hire another appraiser to get a second opinion, or just move on to another offer that isn’t contingent on the buyer getting a mortgage or an appraisal inspection.

Mortgage underwriting is often the next step after an appraisal, and this process can take anywhere from a week to a month or more. The timeline depends on the mortgage lender’s requirements, how quickly the buyer gets the required documentation to their lender, and whether there are any issues during the underwriting process.

Unless the buyer or seller makes the offer or offer acceptance contingent on the appraisal results, the sale will move forward unaffected if the appraisal comes back lower than the offer. This essentially means the buyer is paying more than what the home is worth, but without that contingency, both parties are locked into the deal. Some buyers may try to negotiate the purchase price down to the appraisal value, but this may not be possible if there wasn’t an appraisal contingency in the offer agreement.

Yes, in many cases, gazebos can increase your property value—as long as they’re in good condition. From a buyer’s perspective, the most appealing gazebos are large, well-designed, and built with high-quality materials. Having extra features—like built-in seating or electrical outlets—will also impress some buyers. Small, flimsy, or run-down gazebos won’t be as attractive.

The differences between market value and appraised value depend on the local market, so they can match, or either one can be higher than the other. In a “seller’s market,” where there is an abundance of buyers, market value will likely sit higher than the appraised value because there’s more demand for the low inventory of homes. In a “buyer’s market,” where there are more homes than there are buyers, the market value is more likely to sit below the appraised value to entice buyers.
