I think most have lost track of the point of bracketing in the first place.  It is there to proof the analysis. Sometimes you have to proof one feature at a time, one comp at a time. It’s all about ‘the test of reasonableness’.  When is this industry going to have a rule against outsourced typing services, automatically applied adjustments, and the 2 hour appraisal report? It’s not surprising people have lost sense of what is reasonable and what is not. If I hear an appraiser mention ‘the bottom line’ in relation to their developmental methods and time saving shortcuts one more time, I might very well spontaneously combust. Most of these quick as lightning appraisers should have been in different lines of work. Logic first. Time second.
