The expert appraiser needs to be self-confident and be
an advocate for his or her own work. The appraiser is not
to be an advocate for his or her employer or use the
“made as instructed” approach to value. This latter point
may seem obvious, but there is usually a lot of pressure
exerted on expert appraisers to give the client what is
needed to win the case in question. Sometimes the
appraiser’s best decision is to tell his or her attorney that
the data do not support the attorney’s theory and the case
should be settled.
