Amen to that. And, btw, I stopped doing BPO's when they just decided not to pay me for them and ignored all communication. They sure wanted something for nothing. And, yes, they were usually depressing.
I didn't get paid for one, because I had inadvertently not realized it was up to ME to notified them that I had done one on the same property before 90 days were up with another company. WHAT!!! This is what sends my broker into a snit, they have spent $$$$ on different Realtors doing the SAME thing coming up with the SAME value . . .and then if you don't "match" what everyone else is putting in for value, they ask you to "readjust" it so they all match. What a crock!!!! I put a value of $130,000 on a gorgeous old turn of the century brick two story that I KNOW was as pretty on the inside as it was on the outside, and it was too high . . .listed it for $113,900 and whoever gets it is going to get a gem. It made me sick to have to lower the value so much to make "the client" happy. We live in a crazy country.
So true about the tax values too . . .taxes aren't going to do anything but go up . . .especially with the troubles all the counties are having keeping their heads above water. BUT saw in the paper where the Supervisor of Highways got over a $7000 a year raise . . .someone has money.
