Unless a numerical value or range of value is expressed somewhere in the equation of the client/appraiser relationship there is no appraisal. My words have borne out that statement and I haven't contradicted myself in any way throughout this whole thread. You're really not putting the whole picture together and that's obvious from the comments. I really don't know what you guys are reading or drinking....or maybe it's age?

Obviously ignorance is bliss, so... bliss on dudes!!!

Ignorance may in fact be bliss .. but stupidity is purely sad.

Lets address the above statement ..... Unless a numerical value or range of value is expressed somewhere in the equation of the client / appraiser relationship there is no appraisal.

Your client expressed a numerical value ($190,000) and you said thats doable (an appraisal) ... using your own words it makes no difference who expressed the numerical value only that one is expressed somewhere in the equation of the client / appraiser relationship. I contend such a relationship did exist and the numerical value within that relationship was expressed and as a result of your agreeing it was "doable" an appraisal was done (probably not complete because your work file was not complete at that moment ... but I believe USPAP gives you time to complete that work file as soon as possible) .... I hope you did, but assume you didnt, because you dont think you did the appraisal you did.

Next argument?

He seems like a rocket scientist compared to those residing in appraizul land.

I'll leave you this to you guys to puzzle out. Should keep you guys busy for a few weeks.

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

Another one : Choose 1 to describe a numerical expression that qualifies as an appraisal :

1) Numerical values spoken or written to the appraiser
2) Talking about a benchmark or previous value with no numerical expression by the appraiser of it's current value
3) Whispering a number to yourself
4) Something in writing from the appraiser expressing a numerical value or range of value

Actually Ed, first is being used as a noun describing a set in Mr Rex's example. 1st is a number describing - a number. Numbers are not nouns or adjectives they are numbers. Thank you

You guys are just too thick to get this and it truly makes me sad. Too many pro's with not enough brains to go around. Better not fall behind on your E & O payments.

What is different in this post than that which you have posted over and over and over which has been dismantled by so many here.

Thick .. yeah I think thick describes the situation .. unfortunately it is not we that are thick. :laugh:

I simply cannot believe I have allowed myself to waste so much time in this thread and others like it.

 

[Hamlet]

I'm still waiting for the law that says an appraisal must be expressed as written. I mean, for someone who thinks we are so thick, just produce it and that would be that.
