In my opinion, as the Listing Agent, I would ask the Buyer's Agent to request a rebuttal given that the appraiser is not from the immediate area. Local expertise is crucial for all parties. Secondly, the $10K difference may easily be negotiable by splitting the middle between Seller and Buyer. Good luck

The Good: Tax advantages for certain buyers. The bill includes a temporary state and local tax (SALT) limit of $40,000 starting in 2025, CNBC reported. This benefit begins to decrease when you have $500,000 or more of yearly income. As Newsweek noted, the new limit represents a steep increase from the previous limit and could mean thousands of dollars in savings for homeowners in high-tax states such as New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Illinois. This in turn could " create a real estate boom again,aEUR? according to Ed Fernandez, CEO of exchange investment company 1031 Crowdfunding. Investor incentives. The bill's provisions will " likely stimulateaEUR? investor activity in Opportunity Zones, according to Salim Chraibi, CEO of Florida-based real estate company Bluenest Development. This could benefit home sellers in high-demand areas. However, it might also drive up prices in certain markets unless " guardrails are in place to preserve affordability and ownership access for local residents,aEUR? Chraibi told GOBankingRates in an email. Depreciation bonus. Abe Schlisselfeld, senior managing director and national real estate industry leader at CBIZ, told Newsweek that one of the most attractive parts of the bill is the return of 100% bonus depreciation. " This would allow you to fully deduct the cost of qualifying renovations, property improvements and certain building components immediately, instead of spreading the deductions out over several years,aEUR? Schlisselfeld said. " This could be a game changer for your 2025 renovation or development plans.aEUR? The Bad: It does not address affordability issues. The median sales price of homes in the United States rose to a new record high of $435,300 in June, according to the National Association of Realtors. Steep prices continue to be a drag on housing in many markets, but the Trump bill " lacks direct support for affordable homeownership,aEUR? Chraibi said. " Without targeted policies aEUR" such as down-payment assistance or incentives for developing workforce-focused, for-purchase homes aEUR" working families remain locked out of the equity and stability that come with homeownership.aEUR? Clean energy credits will end. Certain provisions of the bill terminate the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit, the Residential Clean Energy Credit, the New Energy Efficient Home Credit, and deductions for energy-efficient commercial buildings. Ending these credits could stall construction and lead to higher home prices, Newsweek reported. It cited an analysis from Groundwork Collaborative, a progressive advocacy group, which found that the New Energy Efficient Home Credit incentivized the construction of energy efficient homes and was " estimated to spur the construction of 3 million homes in the next few years.aEUR? With those incentives no longer in place, fewer homes will be built, inventory will remain tight and new home prices will keep rising. It doesn't help middle-class families. According to Chraibi, the " greatest barrieraEUR? for middle-income, working households isn't just monthly payments aEUR" it's it's the upfront cost and lack of entry-level homes on the market. " Without targeted policies providing down-payment assistance or incentives for building for-purchase workforce housing, millions remain locked out of homeownership's economic and stability benefits,aEUR? he said.

Most likely the person that incurred the fee for the photography media. As a Listing Agent, I practice including the cost of all media to prepare the listing for the market as part of my Listing to do tasks. I usually, give full access to all of the Sellers/Owners to the media. Sharing is caring.
