When an appraisal comes in low, what is one tactic that has worked for you in an appraisal reconsideration of value letter to get a revision? Can you give one example of a data point or comp selection that proved decisive?

I've had success by zeroing in on a missed comp that lines up tightly with the subject property's location and rehab level. In one case, the appraiser used an outdated sale on the same street, but I found a newer comp three blocks over--same square footage, same renovation quality, closed just 45 days earlier. Once I showed that, the appraiser updated the report and raised the value by almost $18,000.
