Staying Out of Trouble
I wanted to thank you for the post on your Website: "Staying out of Trouble..." A rapidly growing part of my practice involves working with E&O Attorneys & E&O Company representatives doing Forensic Reviews of their insured’s appraisals. All of the "problem areas" you pointed out are right on.
The most abused line item adjustment I have found is what I now call the "bogus condition adjustment" where a +$25,000 +50,000 etc. adjustment is made. When I pull the listing, the Comp is in superior condition. Incorrectly confirmed Zoning is a HUGE problem in most appraisals I review, especially with appraisals of vacant land.
