From Washington Appraiser, Dave Towne:
“Appraisers……
Over the past couple of months, ‘negative press’ hit pieces have been circulating in major media and blogs about how ‘appraisers have caused a disruption in property sales’, erroneously attributed to the HVCC, since the economy went into the tank in 2008 and early 2009.
The attached 4 page PDF is an article written by Patrick Egger, Cert. Gen’l appraiser and appraiser educator from Las Vegas, which discusses why competent appraisers make decisions ‘we’ do regarding establishing an opinion of market value. I have met Patrick, and have taken a class from him.
Patrick has given me permission to distribute this article, and has told me you may distribute it to anyone you choose. Your mortgage lenders and real estate sales people buddies might like to see this so that they get a better understanding of what you do in analyzing market area sales used in your reports.
Be sure to save the PDF, and print it for your own review.
