Many think that the appraiser pendulum has swung too far on the conservative side. An inaccurate home appraisal can cause a sale to fall apart. What’s an agent to do?

Kim Panozzo I just received my CRS designation (been in Real Estate 7 years - lived here for 15 years) which I am very excited about. Scottsdale, Arizona - Phoenix Metro area is heating up in more ways than just the tempeture. Homes under $250k are seeing multiples offers and 94% of our sales last month were under $400k. Great prices on homes over $400k as well however Jumbo financing is still a challenge. I am seeing more cash buyers for luxury homes which is a good sign here. Have confidence in any referral that you send my way.


Charlee Gowin CRS since early 80's! Prudential Towne Realty, Virginia Beach, VA Greetings to CRSs nationwide. It's a phenomenal time to buy on the East Coast - right here in sunny Hampton Roads! We're half-way between NYC & Miami, great weather year-round (we have all 4 seasons, but none really harsh), great schools and family recreational parks, golf courses, and wonderful beaches in our resort areas. Many of our military personnel retire here! I'd love to exchange referrals with you and ALWAYS make the CRS designation my first priority in selecting a referral agent.


Karen Corcoran ReMax Coeur dAlene Idaho is heating up and a great place to invest....God's country. If you need any info for clients, just let me know.


Randy Micklin As a CRS member since 2002 and 20+ years of real estate experience in Las Vegas, NV I've always had a pleasant experience working with another CRS member weather a local or referring realtor from another part of the country. CRS membership proves a higher level of committment to the real estate business. Thanks to all.
