Correct answer: No — providing objective market data and requesting reconsideration is permitted
This is NOT a violation. Providing objective comparable sales data and requesting a reconsideration of value (ROV) is PERMITTED and is standard industry practice. The appraiser independently evaluates whether the new comps warrant an adjustment. The key: the LO provided facts (15 comparable sales with prices), not pressure ("you MUST appraise higher"). If the appraiser reviews the new data and still concludes $380,000 is supported, the appraisal stands. Reconsideration with new data ≠ coercion.
