Energy Wise Appraisal Strategies
In order to not wind up stressed out over bad appraisals like the guy in the photo, we’ll discuss survival tips with the most Home Performance Savvy Appraiser I know. We’ve been saying (and experiencing) that the market for deep energy retrofits along with nice remodeling has changed and become a hostile environment for this type of foreclosure renovation. One of the primary sources of the hostility toward progress is the Bankers and Appraisals who don’t understand and therefore don’t give value to the primary work that we do.
Tonight we will interview one of the only fully BPI certified Appraisers in the country. Debra Little has paid her dues to learn the Home Performance Industry and is now teaching it for PG&E. Scott Jura will also add knowledge of the local neighborhoods as we evaluate a recent appraisal received by GreenEarthEquities. Several “green” Realtors will also add their insights.
We will review the Appraisal Institutes: Residential Green and Energy Efficient Addendum (click link to preview) as well as discuss how to present your property to the banks and how to “demand” an energy knowledgeable appraiser for your project… and how to communicate with that appraiser once they are assigned.
