July 2008 ASC Q&a- Wink Wink Comp Comp

[Ken B]

I think Mr. Santora has been requested to dumb it down.

It seems the faux esoteric crowd is overly sensitive considering the post wasn’t directed at them. Having cert gen next to one’s name is no assurance of eminence. As was stated by several, the demon lies with the residential originators simply having too much power. I still maintain the public would benefit (it’s all about them anyway, right?) if one small line of text were buried somewhere reading simply.
“Comp checks are illegal effective 1/1/2009.”
You desk top wizards would easily figure a way around it, but the fact it was in writing would have a chilling effect on the Neanderthal MBs and LOs for at least a year or two. Is tis too much for a humble sole proprietor to ask?

Steve:

Please do not take this as an insult directed at you. i truly think your opinion is worth hearing. (i do wish you could actually post in a way that is contemporary enough for normal people to understand you.)

Don't take this as an insult, but the people who understand me ARE the normal people.

I have learned from my short observation of this forum that there are people who care and those that don't.

And I have learned that those who have nothing of substance to contribute turn to character assassination, calling others spineless, etc.

Normal people do.

It won't work. I am already going as slow as I can.

I understand you plenty Steve. Perhaps you and Ken can start a new appraiser group. I am sure it will work for the benefit of our industry.

I am not assassinating anyone's character. I have yet to see anything you post to be of any substance, other than a smoke and mirror show. Not an attack just a observation.

Spineless may be have been the right word, but never the less, it pushed us under the bus. Giving more fuel to the originators is a bad idea. We all knew the answer to the comp request information prior to this Q &A. It just allows the really dishonest folks out there more vague boundaries to operate within their abstract views. Go read the info Pam put up. These unlicensed and unethical people have been given another reason to try and spin appraiser ethics back on the appraiser.

I understand, you have nothing but personal attacks. This thread is about the QA on so-called "comp checks." I think the rules require us to address the topic. That's handy because the first and foremost thng I don't need is to have you to explain me to me. Stick to posting twaddle about how the ASB is anatomically challenged. Better for you that the target can't hit back.

Right. The second thing I don't need a lecture in is word smithy.

More than a dictionary short of a picnic. That's OK, I think I can translate that into "normal" English.

11,290 posts for Steven and nothing of substance? Not one?

Lee,
How so?

ASB Answer:
....
For example, an appraiser asked by a client to
provide “sales data of all homes located within a one mile radius” of a specific address
could comply with the client’s request without complying with STANDARDS 1 and 2,
because the appraiser would just be providing sales data pursuant to the client’s defined
parameters. In this example, the appraiser must be careful not to communicate any
opinions or conclusions regarding the data provided.

In all the vitriol, I still don't see how I delivered a report, or
am I off topic?

I type with my eyes closed when I post here, after swapping in a QWERTY keyboard for a Dvorak.

You mean when "you" provided all the sales within a radius? Isn't that a report?

Could it look something like this?
