I still say $2k for an appraisal is price gouging and $4k is bs.

If this is done incorrectly, the entire transaction may be ruined by overpaying, undervaluation of assets, or hidden liabilities.

In short, I call it the Dustin Harris syndrome. Meaning, for every small market where a few appraisers say the grass is green, the reality is thousands of other appraisers get taken to the woodshed (high AMC involvement / low splits, etc.) which in turn gives others the possibility to make a decent wage.
