There is a lot said these days about appraisers being under pressure to appraise for exactly the purchase price, and not really being able to appraise for less because then you get less business from the lenders.
I myself experienced this when the house I bought magically appraised for exactly what I was purchasing it for. Similarly, for a plot of land! The price was exactly right.
I really don’t want to sound like an asshole, and I’m asking this question 100% seriously and sincerely: what do you *do*? I understand the basics of the job and how you appraise properties, but what percentage of appraisals have a “target” in mind and is it frustrating to have to meet that target? Or, is it frustrating to have people like me ask these silly questions? 🙂
