Whether the property didn’t perform the way you thought it would or something else happens in your life that makes it impossible to afford the home, if you’re in a hurry to sell, you need to think outside the box.

CubiCasa and a Desktop Mess – an appraiser’s experience. By Jamie Owen. Excerpts: I called the listing agent on the property I was to appraise and asked if they knew how an appraiser might go about obtaining a floor plan (for my desktop appraisal).
