There are definitely appraisers that wont bend the rules. I have been involved in several transactions the last few years where there werent comps for the property my clients were selling and/or buying. It wasnt a case of trying to inflate the value but rather finding properties that were comparable. Some appraisers said they couldnt justify the value with the available comps while others found ways to make the adjustments to come up with the value or at least get close.
