As always, I like your ideas and plan to incorporate them moving forward. I definitely owe you a "Black Castle" or two when we finally get to meet and talk about old punk rock bands. Thanks Mark!

Actually, for a moment there I thought it was me until I read about the alphabet soup behind his name. Really? Appraisers still do that? Pay huge yearly fees just to be a 'member' of some group. Guess I missed the memo on that one. Nice job going to Miller Samuel - a very highly respected source. Good job on another great article!

Give it up, transparency is needed to correct what was wrong. Thats a great idea about adding the appraisal onto the a single property website. Keep on innovating and march on transparency.

I think his main beef was that I was doing an appraisal on a property that I had listed. The fact of the matter is that there was no financing hinging on my appraisal. It was merely a way for me to put on paper what my opinion of the property's true market value was. Just a more formal way of doing a CMA really. It should be interesting to see if Jonathan Miller has anything to add to it on today's radio show.... PS- LOVE the stuff you're doing with www.1107mesadrive.info BTW! I agree Ted.

Showing the comparable closings is just fact. Pretty hard to argue with. Nice idea, I can’t see where this is an ethics issue. Showing the comparable closings is just fact.
