I probably didn’t communicate my previous post too well. I’m not saying I am buying everything they’re selling but I also won’t dismiss it all out of hand just because I disagree with some of the things they’re saying. I don’t need to agree with everything they say in order to take advantage of a point or two they bring up that makes some sense.
Let me explain it like this: When I start researching data for an assignment I often start developing my opinion of value for the property I’m appraising before I even see it. However, that opinion is subject to change right up until the moment I sign it as I send it out the door. Until that point, I am constantly in search of additional information from any credible source. While much of the additional information is worthless every once in a while something good pops out. I don’t want to get caught missing out on that just because it doesn’t jibe with my initial impressions.
