What Do You Consider To Be Data Sources And Verification Sources?

Should the appraiser who makes adjustments for rotting decks give advice?

No here is the end.

Not surprising that you state mis-information to try to taint the well. If you didn't have fallacies to use as an argument, you won't have anything to use.

Maybe you can "fudge" the dummies, Mr. Slippery Slope.

Maybe when you start telling truths and then have those truths be applicable to the topic at hand, someone might listen to you.
Now, feel free to rebut anything that I said. Otherwise, stay on your typical path of same BS, different day. and if you're going to resort to ad hominem tactics because you can't refute what was said, like your fallacious deck comment...at least get the story right.

 

[djd09]

fallacious deck comment.

That is no fallacy.

 

[Artemis Fowl]

oh well...GIF fail. In case you wondered it's 2 Minions having a girly slap-fight.

That is no fallacy.

Yes, it was. You're twisting a situation that I had many years ago, where I called for the repair of some rotting deck slates, however I adjusted for a large repaired deck, not a rotting deck. You apparently don't understand that when you make something subject to repair, your SCA reflects the as repaired value. Go back and take appraisal 101.

So yes, it was fallacious and using it, even if you didn't twist it wrong, would still be an ad homimem attack which is still a logical fallacy.

IOW...you fail on all accounts.

DJD's way of arguing is, "Albert Einstein was wrong once, therefore we should never listen to him.

Two things I know:

1) verifying with a party to the transaction can be very helpful
2) verifying with a party to the transaction is often unnecessary for credible and very accurate results

You are a good appraiser if you know when to pick up the phone.

It isn't remotely financially feasible to call all the brokers for residential appraisals in my market and the vast majority of residential appraisers don't call. How do I know this? When I call a broker and ask them to confirm a sale they act so confused at what I am doing. Many of them have never had a call from an appraiser.

You should know when you need to pick up the phone, but there are times when it is a waste of time (i.e. four comps are within 1/2 mile, are in the MLS, and adjust to a very tight range.)

there were probably 50-100 sales of similar type units within the subject's neighborhood.

Do you put 50 sales in a report? I thought most appraisers have four sales and two listings in a residential report. That would be verifying four sales, not 50.
