http://www.realestateappraisertips.info/ – Real Estate Appraiser Tips! Real Estate Appraisers: Would A Geographical Competency Map Help You In Expert Witness Testimony?

Last night, I reblogged Bryan McDonald’s REBliss.com post about: “REBliss.com Video: How Real Estate Appraisers Can Use Google Maps to Show Their Geographic Competency

I have a question for appraisers. For cases where you are hired for expert witness testimony, do you think that providing the judge, the defense and the offense attorneys with your own geographical competency map would solidify your competence for that market you’re called to testify about? Could you zoom in on a Google Map and show them that you have appraised 571 homes in that immediate marketing area since 1990? Would that prove your competency to them?

Bryan McDonald and I would love to get feedback on this topic. Please take time to leave a comment below. And again, Bryan’s original post about this is at http://rebliss.com/blog/2010/04/15/how-to-use-google-maps-to-show-your-geographic-competence/ . Take time to leave a comment there as well.

Appreciate you! Bill Cobb
