Hell when you pull back the curtain most people would be shocked to realize that all those prim and proper super nice 50 year old lady Realtors that seem so nice; those ladies are some of the most cut throat sharks in the game.

I went through a refi last year with a traditional mortgage bank. had the same scenario, first appraisal came back super low, we argued the valuation and ultimately got nowhere. we decided to start over with a different lender, and got a 2nd appraisal exactly 16 days after the first one was dated, and the valuation was almost $80k more. sometimes starting over is all you can do.

The floor is not super out of wack, more just some imperfections of chips and some hills, overall is it worth doing for what it's for?
