I could not get any sound. However, Forsythe has been around for awhile. They began snapping up appraisal firms about 10 years ago.

HAH! Did anyone catch the 'Freudian slip' of "AUTOMATIC Valuation Model?"

Funny.

Anyway, to my shame, I am one of those guys Hummel states as an under-mentored, under-prepared, appraiser having broke into the whole thing earlier this decade. About the only thing I did right was not allow myself to be pushed around (pressured), I just do not respond well to that sort of thing, I am altogether too combative.

Start by booting these clowns out of the system.

Wow, so AVM's are drive-by appraisals. I'm glad the experts have clarified
this whole AVM issue up for me.
