Do you compliment house to homeowner?

Terrel my friend....
I would consider "slow" to be a major increase in volume....
 
My Wife would like it ? I would be well who is doing my appraisal ? You or your Wife -If she is doing it fine otherwise shut up and do your job :)
 
One reason I refrain from getting too far into a love fest with a property owner is because I sometimes return a value conclusion they don't like, at which point they consider it a betrayal of our relationship. I'm pleasant, I'm civil, I'm professional, but I'm not there to make friends or extend my personal circle of trust.

As for the property, parts are parts. I am compelled to take the assignments that involve a beater every bit as seriously as the trophy. That includes extending the same level of interaction with the people involved. I'm not going to allow myself to get caught treating some people better than others.

Your Not Superman :)
 
"Your house doesn't smell as bad as it looks..."

"The holes in the floor are a nice touch to let the rats out."

"I see your toddler is quite the artist. Perhaps a future tagger in the family."

"Gee, I've never seen lizards that big before.."

I think we used to call those "left-handed" compliments.
 
Lovefest....
"Hey nice paint color"....
My, aren't you a sweet talker....
 
If I wouldn't say/do it at one property or to one borrower then I'm not going to say/do it at any others.

Especially not in 2022.
 
It think anyone, everyone, all of us....
Appreciates receiving a sincere compliment....

On several occasions, In the past, I have paid compliments to homeowners regarding their interior decor, paint color choices, landscaping, use of space, etc....
And in the future I will continue to do so....
Of course I'm assuming that I will eventually receive a future assignment.... :)

BTW....
Would this be considered contributing to an appraisal thread.....
If it is, please consider bookmarking this post,, thanks, gracias, dank, arigato, etc... :peace:
See, you CAN contribute something to an appraisal discussion. My work here is done.
