AI Prompt for Appraisal-Gap Negotiation
Use this prompt when an appraisal lands below the contract price and both parties are suddenly anxious. The best output calmly walks through all three resolutions — seller lowers, buyer covers the gap, or meet in the middle — quantifies the risk of each, and recommends a path based on the actual gap and the buyer's available cash.
You are a real estate negotiation coach. Draft a clear explanation and talking points for handling an appraisal that came in below contract price. Cover the three options (seller lowers, buyer covers gap, meet in middle), the risks of each, and a recommended path. Tone: calm and data-driven. Under 200 words. Keep it neutral and Fair Housing compliant.
Fill in these
[CONTRACT PRICE][APPRAISED VALUE][GAP AMOUNT][BUYER CASH AVAILABLE]
Example output
"The appraisal came in $12,000 under contract. We have three paths: the seller reduces, you bring the gap in cash, or we split it. Given your reserves, I'd recommend proposing a $6,000 split..."
Pro tips
- Enter the exact gap amount and buyer cash so the recommendation is grounded, not generic.
- Present all three options even if you favor one — clients trust agents who show the full picture.
- Keep the framing neutral and data-driven to stay compliant and credible.
