Certainly is interesting how the geographic limits defining a "neighborhood" can and will expand greatly in the mind, and aggressive practice, of someone hell-bent by greed when trying to get-what-they-want ! When the age-old saying in the real estate profession has always been Location, Location, Location.....many will violate this fundamental premise and expand a proper "location", and attempt to get us to do the same, to satisfy their collaborative scheme. Whatever it takes. So, what does that make us ?......simply, on occasion, we are the greed detectors, who call it like we see it. Sorry, our data may not see the neighborhood to be 15 miles by 20 miles ! !
Greed is human nature and often gets entangled within the web of desire, need, ethics, honesty, fact and truth. We see it, we recognize it, and then we get to decide if we will play into it or remain unbiased and stay-the-course of our better judgement. Remember, while they might love you now, and speak your high praises at that moment of submission and stepping outside the bounds, and sway us with great promises of lots of new work in the future, they will totally deny later that they ever made any effort to sway you (before) when and if the crap hits the fan. People will never stop attempting to be greedy.....but in it all lies their problem of not being able to accept the outcome when someone "catches" them in the act. Rather than saying to themselves that they got tripped-up, we always here the reply that they will "get another appraiser". Blacklists, slander and bad-mouthing.....I guess they are the demons we appraisers have to be willing to live with. Hold your position....until relieved ! ( The cavalry is coming, right, they're just over the next hill, right ?)
