109: FHA Appraisals - Myths vs Reality
Let’s bust one of the biggest myths in real estate: that FHA loans are a nightmare for sellers. 🙄
In this episode, we’re breaking down what actually happens with FHA appraisals, how they differ from conventional loans, and why they’re not the deal-killer so many agents make them out to be.
We’ll chat through:
💡 What FHA appraisers really look for (and what they don’t)
🧰 Common repair flags and how to handle them proactively
💬 How to set seller expectations and keep deals moving smoothly
🤝 Why understanding FHA can open doors for more buyers and stronger offers
Because here’s the truth — FHA doesn’t mean “hard.” It means “helping more buyers get home.” And that’s something every good agent should be on board with.
