They are nit-picking the slightest “perceived” thing to send out letters and or complaints to the licensing boards. I just hope the state regulators can see through the smoke and mirrors of what is really going on.

I feel these time adjustments do nothing because there are two many factors that come into play. First of all the search peramiters of a city may have four quadrants, NE, SE, NW, SW. So sales are not always from the same quadrant. Secondly, searches are of comparable sales are not matched sales. Litterly imposible to find a match paired sale unless its a PUD.
