Overall it is beneficial. I think they need to revisit percentile guidelines and their opinions on them. Appraising to percentage guidelines or accepting them as a limitation when they may not accurately reflect actual market conditions, is a serious error. If any client requires pre-set guideline compliance it results in an unacceptable assignment condition. The continuation of 'guideline appraising' causes far more complaints against appraisers than would otherwise result. It frequently is associated with so-called low appraisals, where the inferred value per SF of improvements; site value (as a stated amount or a percentage) and the comparable sales overall sale prices per SF simply don't reconcile.
