SEMINAR: "The Impact of the Appraisal Process on New Home Sales"   

SPEAKER: Edward T. Molinari, SRA

Lately, mortgage brokers, builders, real estate agents and others in the housing business have been complaining about unfair appraisals. If you want to know why, then you can’t afford to miss this informative breakfast seminar. Hear from Edward Molinari, SRA, bankers & local and national builders how their business is affected by the current appraisal situation.

Are builders losing deals because homes are not appraising?
Are buyers needing to bring additional $$ to the table due to last minute reduced appraisals?
How are builders balancing reduced pricing with keeping home values up? (Smaller models, subtle incentives….)

You are cordially invited to join us for the monthly SMC Meeting directly following the Appraisal Seminar.
