What a crock of nonsense!
Many, if not most, sales agents are happy with any appraiser who is a reliable rubber stamp. What do the agents believe in? - A good rubber stamp.
Since they have already made their decision, Ditto with the above.
Trust you to do what? Rubberstamp? Rubberstamp ... Rubberstamp.
Do you mean the perfect reliable rubber stamp?
You don't say.
Hmmm. What do you consider a "legitimate user?" Or are you just trying to cover your *** here?
Because these other avenues of valuation are cheaper and faster and provide more leeway in valuation.
Nonsense. The AVM is ultra-reliable in its value output; you ask it—any time of any day, and it will give you a value you can accept or reject and go to another AVM to try for better luck. The client only goes to the appraiser if they have to.
Well, well, well. In most cases, the appraiser knows ALREADY what valuations they need because it is already established through practice. Yes, there are exceptions to more advanced appraisal work. But for the most part, it is Market Value, Fair Value, SCA, IA, or CA, or a mixture thereof. So, what decisions are we discussing that you keep making a big issue about? Hmmmm. Nonsense in most cases. Of course, if we, for example, get into Right of Way appraisals, how many appraisers do these types of appraisals? And really, the workflow for these is pretty much established.

DO YOU THINK THIS IS A PROFESSIONAL APPRAISER? Good grief!!
You would make a better car salesman. Really. Maybe we need a new term "car salesman appraiser."
Of course. But whose fault is that? It is because appraisers lack a solid appraisal standard to protect them from indscriminant retribution - often from other appraisers who have become insane over the years trying to deal with that standard.
Well, clever appraisers don't have to lie. They make a total mess of things in a multi-sheet Excel spreadsheet and somehow generate a desired number for the client. It can get complicated. There is a definite science to it!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, I should write an article on it. It's all about linkages.
No backbone appraiser. Money makes his decisions.
