I live in Arizona, but just completed a review of an SRA's appraisal in Florida

[444nutman]

Nowhere have I opined the appraisal in question is good, bad, or otherwise. I don't care if the appraiser was an SRA or a trainee. I merely pointed out your comments on the report displayed total ignorance of the Florida market, which rendered you incompetent to review the appraisal, and other Florida appraisers agreed.

I agree. I dont care what # the appraiser has. I have seen low # appraisers that produce garbage. One of the best reports I have reviewed in the last year was a cert with their # in the 7000's. I judge the report and not the appraiser.

Sheriff nobody is doubting the report stank. The only comment I wanted to make is style adjustment are not common in Florida. I just finished a two story home that had 3 two story comps and 2 one story comps. It was a pretty tight report. They comped out from $163,000 to $172,000 and the highest adjusted comp was one story and the lowest was two story.
The highest was an REO and the 2nd, 3rd and 5th lowest were non short/REO sales but that is for another thread.

Hey! My certification number is in the 7000s! Coincidence? LOL

In another state I worked in before Florida I knew the guy with license #1. He worked in our office, and he sat on the state board. Suffice it is to say, you cannot judge the quality of the appraisal by the appraiser's position on the state board either.

That narrowed it down quite nicely.

Narrowed what down?

In all fairness, I'm in Central Florida and had concerns over an appraisal done for a family member down in Lee County or SE Florida, and hired an appraiser for a full review right off this Forum, because I knew-- that I did not know, what I did not know about the SE Florida market.

Wisdom is knowing what you do not know. (I think.)

SRA's get a free pass down here.

Was it a bad appraisal in the sense that he was off on MV? I dunno.

Was it poorly explained? Yes

Does that mean the adjustments and Est MV were wrong? No

Does that mean the adjustments and Est MV were right? No

I suggest that you stop guessing and get an appraiser that is competent in that area to appraise the place. All you are doing is what a AMC ph monkey does...criticizing his spelling.

I'm not sure...is this supposed to be an AI-bashing thread?

Maybe it was missing an addendum? :laugh:
