no, in my very, very long appraiser career, i have never had that happen, or any complaints. i do get compliments on my business practice from home owner's, and loan officers. but i have heard the usual homeowner complaint, 'oh the appraiser walked thru my house & never said a word'. mentioning nearby sales, or explaining the FNMA super computer, facts if needed, is discussing a home value? well, we all have our own business practices. i have had my clients for a very long time, i guess they don't know what i have been doing wrong.
i'm not arguing against your practice, just mentioning my practice, and the opportunity for someone newer hearing it. God bless me.
