NEWS NOTES AND
COMMENTARY
I hope you find some useful information here, more on the web site.
I have been appraising properties in the Portland and Vancouver Metro Area for the past 10 years. Before that, I spent 20 years in Banking and Mortgage Lending.
If you need an appraiser who will work with you and understands what you need, give me a call.
A free market update or appraisal training session, for loan officers and processors, or a speaker for a staff meeting, call to schedule.
Current Turnaround Time: 3 days, from order.

It's a Fact, statistics prove it. Statistics play a big part in shaping how we view today's housing market. We are seeing more reliance on statistics to give a clear picture to underwriters and investors. Is the market going up or down, are values increasing or decreasing, what's the average sales price, the median sales price? The appraiser's job is more important than ever to provide a detailed explanation of market conditions.
Are you just getting one or two lines of "boilerplate" on the appraisal form? You need information that is relevant to the correct market, timely and clearly communicated. I provide a full addendum on "Market Conditions" to support my analysis of the statistics and the information that goes into the report. Statistics are an important part of the picture, but it takes some understanding and analysis to explain the market.
For more information, or the truth to the statement above, call me. For more interesting insight into statistics try Oxford mathematician Peter Donnelly's presentation on interpreting statistics.
