There was a “spirited debate” about the role an appraiser plays in the real estate transaction surrounding a post I wrote here: http://www.realestateradiousa.com/blog/2008/07/01/an-appraiser-bites-back/

Some very interesting comments went back and forth between agents and appraisers. As I am both, I enjoyed hearing both sides and learned a little from each.

All My Best,
Mike

They were only suspicious because what are the odds, they asked. I told them that the odds are pretty good, since the appraisal requested by the bank seems to be there only to justify the sales price- not to determine it. If you want a real determination of value from an independent party - hire your own appraiser.
