More On Free Comp Checks

[Stone]

One more time for the reading comprehension challenged. The definition of an appraisal by USPAP states a primary definition. The elaborations following the primary definition are examples of the primary definition and do not stand alone without the primary definition. It's really not that hard to understand, unless your head is made of stone. I just can't believe that you guys are that thick. And you defend your position with insults - such mature and intelligent responses. The lie is stating they do stand alone - which if you stood back and looked at logically, makes no sense at all. Remember, if you're throwing dirt you're losing ground and, old dogs can learn new tricks. Just because what you learned was wrong doesn't mean you can't re-learn the true definition without foaming at the mouth.

This post is hilarious.

An appraisal must be numerically expressed as :

1) a specific amount
2) as a range of numbers
3) [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]as a relationship (e.g., not more than, not less than) to a previous value opinion [/FONT]or numerical benchmark (e.g., assessed value, collateral value).

There, does that help? How many of you can get this. An appraisal must be numerically expressed by:

1) An appraiser
2) A bank
3) Clerk at the grocery store
4) The dog next door that talks to you

Speaking of thick...

No matter how many times you ignore the last part of the benchmark line, it still exists.

The improvement is noted.

You can say USPAP is goosecrap if you wish ... IMO that is what is wrong with our profession.

I'm not saying USPAP is goosecrap. In fact, I'd wager that no one has a higher regard for USPAP as an inspired work of genius than I do.

I'm saying it's futile and destructive to try and argue against comp checks by trying to prove or disprove our position by spouting whether or not some service complies or doesn't comply with standards or laws.

It's too easy to destroy that argument.

IF an appraiser agrees with that "numerical expression" ... as you did in your example .. yes it is an appraisal. YOU are the appraiser and your agreement is an APPRAISAL no matter who made the expression.

I do think I understand a bit more of your position from this post, however. If you are hearing dogs next door talking to you then you have far more problems than comp cheks. My sincerest sympathy as this business has pushed you too far .. or something did.

I disagree with Ken B

PE... I think he meant the dog next door that barks the value to the appraiser.

Apprazur... You're arguments are going nowhere. I understood this concept the first time I read it during apprazur training class.
