AI Prompt for an Appraisal-Gap Conversation Email
Use this when an appraisal comes in below the contract price and your buyer needs steady guidance, not panic. A good email explains what an appraisal gap means, lays out the options (cover the difference, renegotiate, walk away, or dispute), and outlines simple pros and cons. The best results are calm and empowering, ending with a CTA to talk it through together.

"Hi Tara, the appraisal on 7 Aspen Way came in at $480K versus our $500K contract — a $20K gap. Your options: cover it, renegotiate with the seller, dispute the appraisal, or walk. Each has trade-offs. Let's talk tonight so you can decide with clear eyes."
Pro tips
- State the exact gap in dollars so the decision feels concrete, not abstract.
- Present all options neutrally and avoid giving financial or legal advice — that's for their lender/attorney.
- Keep the tone calm and empowering; never reference protected classes.
