The bottom line is financial. Home loans don’t go above appraisals. Bond paid or not paid isn’t consequential to 3rd party observation. Banks don’t give loans above appraisal for good reason. You could ask more, but it really is a buyers market with the supply surplus. At best, you are talking about a carrot on the stick in this market.
