I have to disagree with David.....I have provided thousands of CMA's and BPO's and when ever I put a CMA up against an appraiser, we are within a very small percentage of each other. Now I would never tell you that I am an appraiser, but then again, I would never tell you to not accept any Real Estate Advice from an appraiser without any Real Estate Training, because I value all advice......anyone working in the industry has a valid opinion.
Hope this helps.
