Probably because the heated and cooled sq ft didn't match up.The appraiser has to explain away any variation in their report.If you are nice with the inspector they will try to help and understand you are in a bad situation.If you unload on them because you were duped by the seller then they will throw the book at you.Think of this.Everyday they get people mad at them.When you come along and appreciate what they do and are nice it goes a really long way.Even if they are nasty to you be nice.They might have had a bad day and they will feel guilty later on and want to help you.I always try to live by my dad's saying.He told me to try to always "be nice and you will usually get more results with honey than vinegar".
