When to use it
The appraisal just came in below the contract price and both sides are waiting on you.
Tip for a better answer
Compare the appraiser's comps with yours line by line; if yours are stronger, ask the AI to draft a reconsideration of value request for the lender.
How to push the first draft further
- Reply “shorter” or “half the length”. First drafts run long.
- Ask for “three versions with different tones” and keep the best lines from each.
- Paste something you wrote that sounds like you and say “match this voice”.
