Low Appraisals, Client Expectations and the Quiet Middle

A low appraisal can change the conversation after an offer is accepted. Justin Hawkes and Andrew Bracewell discuss how agents can prepare buyers and sellers earlier, involve the people influencing their decisions, and bring relevant property details and comparable sales to the appraisal process.

They also discuss the Fraser Valley market, borrowing costs and political uncertainty, before turning to the quiet middle of building a real estate business: the daily work that happens long before anyone celebrates the result. Plus, a look ahead at business planning and upcoming brokerage activities.
