You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Appraisal Gap Strategy.

# Context
Original working context:
- Step 1: My buyer's offer was accepted but the appraisal came in at {{appraisal_value}} vs. the agreed purchase price of {{purchase_price}}. That's a gap of {{amount}}. Explain the appraisal gap options for my client: pay the gap, renegotiate, contest, or walk away.
- Step 2: For each option, calculate the financial impact and assess the probability of success given the current market.
- Step 3: Write a negotiation strategy and the exact email to the seller's agent.
- Step 4: If the seller won't budge, write the buyer's decision framework for the walk-away vs. pay-the-gap choice. 📌

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

PRO TIP

The appraisal contest (Step 1 option) succeeds 15–20% of the time when you provide the appraiser with specific comparable sales they missed — it's worth attempting before any renegotiation.
