The Court finds itself in the EXCEEDINGLY rare position of issuing a ruling of sympathy, and frankly Reginald is uncomfortable with the sensation. You have committed no crime here except perhaps the crime of ASSUMING COMPETENCE in others, which, after seventeen years on this self-appointed bench, I can assure you is a fool's errand. This appraiser — this CARTOGRAPHIC MENACE who wandered in from 45 minutes away like a lost Uber driver with a tape measure — has essentially asked you to grade his homework AFTER he already turned it in wrong. A SHORT SALE, counsel. A SHORT SALE. I once ruled in Comparable Properties v. Basic Professional Standards (2019) that using a distressed sale as a comp is "the appraisal equivalent of judging a cooking competition using food from a dumpster fire." The Court has PERSONALLY experienced the sting of undervaluation — my gavel collection was once appraised at $47 by a man who clearly didn't understand the HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE of a limited-edition Brookstone ceremonial mallet — and the emotional damage was considerable. You are guilty only of being trapped in a system where you must now do someone else's job to fix their mistake, which is frankly the entire real estate industry's business model. The Roomba is circling with unusual agitation. This Court must adjourn immediately to draft a strongly-worded letter to the appraisal board that will absolutely be ignored.
