That's a great point @Matt R. .

These back up offers can be presented to the appraiservto showvthere is not just one but multiple buyers willing to pay your price, thereby creating the market value.Lastly, to reiterate, meeting the appraiser and walking the property with him  R her is essential.

This is an option: https://www.lowes.com/pd/TexMaster-Tools-Sponged-R...Though I don't highly recommend it as the texture it puts out is very thin and you have to dilute compound dramatically to get the brush to even take the compound. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Blue-Hawk-Textured-Finish...This on the other hand has provided a TREMENDOUS result and works phenomenally with dilution or straight compound.
