fairly easy to be "familiar with the market"? Then there is the fact that
each market is unique............................. I struggle with
that and won't even do appraisals, but will sometimes offer an "opinion" if
someone asks. But I then think immediately of "G" a local who does appraisals,
and knows his stuff- probably the best local rebuilder. But he and i would
come out differently on virtually everything. One's own socioeconomic
level affects things some, the kind of instruments one will call a
"piano"............. I've attended numerous classes at convention
and still find all this quite daunting.......</FONT></SPAN></P>
