"This book should be required reading for every realtor. It gives insight into the difficult ethical decisions appraisers must make and for which most realtors have little empathy. Appraisers overcome incredible challenges and make tough decisions. At the end of the day many realtors have few compunctions asking appraisers to compromise their professionalism, ignore the analytical data and pad the numbers to accommodate the desired bottom-line. I've listened to realtors bad-mouth appraisers for years and often wonder if they've ever tried to walk in their shoes. This book has been sorely needed in an overall housing industry fraught with greed and dishonesty."
~ Becky Glewwe, Realtor, Edina Realty, MN "I wish I had this book when I attended Appraisal School. It addresses so many situations that can't be covered in a classroom setting. Every appraisal student should be required to read this book." ~ Nathalie Carrigan, Appraiser, Arizona “We, as loan officers often cringe with just the thought of dealing with an appraiser. This book gives pretty grim look at how we often forget that appraisers deal with the customer on a more personal and human level.” ~ Stephanie Otto, Loan Officer, Texas “Who knew that appraising real estate could be a high-risk job? Some of these stories are hilarious, others touching and a few left me without words entirely. Susan did a great job.” ~Amanda Smith, Owner/Editor The Glenrock Bird Newspaper, Wyoming |

Right? |
