Common occurrences that will prevent a rebuttal from being requested. Please read below and
adhere to the following requirements:
• Do not include any reference to a suggested value or range of value on the rebuttal form.
• Do not include more than three closed sales on the rebuttal form. First Look Appraisals will disregard
any sales included on the rebuttal form in excess of three.
• Do not submit multiple rebuttal requests. Multiple requests may be viewed as an attempt to influence
an appraiser and therefore, such requests will not be considered.
• Due to current legislation and Appraiser Independence Requirements we cannot provide a review on
a rebuttal.
