What to Do If Your San Jose Home Doesn’t Appraise for the Offer Price

A low appraisal can feel like a setback—but it’s fixable.

I’m Dennis Loewen with North and Main Homes, and here’s how to keep your deal on track.

Step 3: Request Reconsideration

If the appraisal clearly missed value, you can appeal with additional evidence.
