Meeting with the appraiser

[Sebastian Lee]

Would it be way too weird or inappropriate to take the appraiser out to lunch to pick his brain about what would make the biggest impact on the ARV?

@Sebastian Lee As long as you don't have a pending deal that this particular appraiser is involved with, it should be OK.  If you had an active deal with him it would be considered a conflict of interest and may even subject the appraiser to discipline if it became known.

I've had informal chats with appraisers and have found them immensely helpful.
