When a home sells for significantly above its market value, it often triggers an appraisal gap. This happens when the lender’s appraisal comes in lower than the agreed-upon sale price, creating financing roadblocks for the buyer. In traditional deals, this leads to:

-Buyers scrambling to cover the difference in cash

-Deals falling through due to financing issues

-Frustrated sellers left starting over with their listing

Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Appraisal gaps are a common problem for real estate agents and clients alike.

On the EZ Real Estate Platform, the transparency of the offer process helps mitigate appraisal issues right from the start. Here’s how it works:

1. Pricing Science That Attracts Buyers

The platform’s listing strategy starts properties at 10-15% below market value to attract a larger pool of buyers. This generates intense competition, which drives up offers naturally. Agents educate buyers about the platform’s transparency, so they know the seller will select the best offer — clean terms and all.

2. Pre-Qualified Buyers, Every Time

Before buyers can even make an offer, the platform requires proof of funds or pre-approval. This ensures that all offers come from serious, financially capable buyers who are ready to handle potential appraisal gaps.

3. Transparency Encourages Clean Offers

Buyers know they’re competing against others, and agents coach them to submit offers that stand out. Often, this includes waiving appraisal contingencies or covering gaps with cash. The result? No last-minute surprises.

4. Backup Offers Provide a Safety Net

The platform encourages agents to secure multiple backup offers. If a buyer can’t close because of an appraisal issue, the next highest offer is ready to step in. This protects the seller from starting over.ie often earns more than traditional agents who stick to the standard 6%.

In over 500 transactions on the EZ Real Estate Platform, not a single deal has fallen apart because of an appraisal gap. Here’s why:

• Agents proactively negotiate terms: Before offers are even submitted, agents confirm buyers’ financial capabilities.
• The platform ensures competitive bidding: By creating a transparent and fair offer environment, buyers make their best offers upfront, often removing contingencies to win the deal.

Watch this free coaching clip discussing the solution to appraisal gaps. As one agent said, “ if I have 13 people making offers on the site, you better believe that only the ones that can make it, the cleanest, have a little bit of cash in case that happens. No contingencies, no inspection, close in under a month – That’s what I’m looking for. And everyone would know it.”

If you’ve ever had a deal fall through because of a low appraisal, it’s time to switch to a system that eliminates these challenges. The EZ Real Estate Platform makes it easy for sellers, buyers, and agents to close deals with confidence, no matter how high the offers climb.
