Recent empirical studies imply that most appraisal error is nonrandom, which suggests that strategies that advocate portfolio assembly over individual property selection may be defective.
Each step of the appraisal process involves an unknown amount of estimation error. The combination of these errors is unlikely to produce a perfect, error-free estimate of value. Thus, appraisal error is virtually unavoidable. Investors need reasonable estimates of value when buying, selling, or retaining commercial property, so an unknown amount of appraisal error adds uncertainty to the decision-making process. Despite the uncertainty, investors have learned to make allowances for appraisal error in their decision-making processes. The way in which real estate investors interpret appraisal errors has a material effect upon the decisions that they make. In particular, the predominant belief among real estate professionals is that appraisal error is random. This belief materially influences investor attitudes toward portfolio management and the valuation process itself. Lack of understanding of the relative magnitudes of random and nonrandom components of total appraisal error has consequences for optimal portfolio strategies. For example, investors who deem the bulk of total appraisal error to be random may reasonably conclude that error in estimates is beyond their control or influence. To minimize total portfolio valuation error, such investors may assemble large, diverse portfolios even though the cost of owning an array of properties of various types and in various locations is expensive. On the other hand, if the bulk of total appraisal error is nonrandom, investors would do better to pay attention to improving value estimates on each property rather than hoping that the errors in values of a large pool of properties will offset one another. In particular, investors should institute valuation controls and procedures to minimize the errors in each valuation of individual portfolio assets. Such controls might include obtaining multiple simultaneous estimates, changing appraisers for each periodic revaluation, or increasing the frequency of valuations. This conclusion becomes particularly significant in light of studies like Miles that determine that the typical magnitude of total appraisal error is about ten percent of appraised value. Information in three recent empirical studies provides evidence that previous appraisal research has been mistaken in assuming most appraisal error to be random. The demonstration that most appraisal error is nonrandom should encourage real estate investors to focus additional attention on individual asset selection and valuation at the expense of portfolio assembly.
Estimates of Total Appraisal Error
Although, Watson & Musico may take their business elsewhere, Richard should refuse to raise the value. Complying to AIC's Code of Ethics is something that he has control over while how Mr. Mortimer chooses to react to this decision is out of his control. As well, Richard would be more reputable and trusted among financial institutions. If Mr. Mortimer does give Cruickshank, Garth & Romano a reputation for being difficult, Richard and his partners could counter it by marketing their firm's strong commitment to being accurate and truthful in their calculations along with the high possibility that banks are likely to accept their appraisal value. This marketing strategy would not only separate them from some of their competitors, it would also surely attract the attention of potential clients who highly values integrity and not just their business's financials.

In the “The Mansion”, Lewis admits his mistake at choosing a house, he acknowledges the influence the house had on
To begin with, Sir Gawain enters the castle seeking refuge. There he makes the deal with the King which invokes his knightly honor, obligating him to fulfill the pact. During his first hunt, the King seeks doe, while, his wife stalks Gawain in the same manner. Both the doe and Gawain attempt to flee from the potential danger that exists. However, just as the one arrow captures the doe, Gawain is caught with one kiss. The doe, being the easiest of the three animals to kill but quick on its feet to flee from danger as was Gawain at the Lady’s attempts. Gawain must first find a way to discourage the Lady without offending her, which proves to be difficult (Putter 118). Gawain must not cause the Lady to become upset because the king might become angry and then pass this aggression on to her husband. In his approach to turning her away, “Gawain first gives a gently dismissive smile, and next utters...
Seen especially in the Hunting and Temptation scenes, the host, Bertilak, first suggests the terms and conditions of his play, asking Gawain “whatever I win… and whatever gain you… shall give in exchange” (65). However, little did Gawain realize his fall for yet another test which Stevens attempts to explain the parallel between the host’s hunt and Gawain’s temptations by Bertilak’s wife. Each animal that was hunted by the lord corresponds to the behavior of Sir Gawain in his bedroom at the palace, however, it was only until the third and final day of the game where the lord captures a fox, an animal known for its deceit and falsehood, did Gawain broke his agreement with the host. As the young wife seduces Gawain each night to succumb to her temptations, she is ultimately testing two knightly virtues of chastity and courtesy. Though he refuses her advances to be unchaste, Gawain accepts her kisses as a mannerly knight. However, in the final night of the game, a certain fatal flaw is exposed as Gawain accepts the ladies green silken girdle not out of greed or unchastity, but because of self preservation. Whoever wears it “could not be killed by any cunning
Thus, he combines Gawain’s human sexual desire with his chivalric duty to a woman as challenges to his loyalty of the Christian chivalric code. Simultaneously, while facing the sensual temptation by Lady Bertilak, Bertilak assembles a pact with Gawain: “Here’s a wager: what I will win in the woods will be yours, / and what you gain while I’m gone you will give to me” (1106-1107, 209). The pact reveals Bertilak’s solution to the failure of Arthur’s court; by wagering a pact with Gawain that entitles him to all the produce Bertilak gains in the wilderness, he creates the truest form of a testament that will illustrate Gawain’s dedication to the Christian chivalric code. On the day of the hunt, Lady Bertilak seduces Gawain for the final time. However, she is met with refusal, and instead offers Gawain a gifted
Everyone knows that being a kid is not always easy and that it's not always fun and games all the time. Where the Wild Things Are, written by Maurice Sendak, tells the story of a little boy named Max who is sent up to his room after being scolded at by his mother. Without being fed dinner and having to go to bed without it, his room magically transformed into a forest. He later befriended the beasts named “The Wild Things” and he also became their leader. After realizing that he missed home, he said his goodbyes to the beasts and travel back to his room. When he returned, he spotted that his mother left food for him on his desk and that food was still hot. Max goes through this self-realization story, like many kids do, in which he learns that his parents are always looking out for him and doing the best for him. He also learns that you cannot run away from your problems, but you have to face them head on.
It is important to clarify some key assumptions that were made in valuing the properties to this NPV. First, the project yields a high IRR of 73 %, due largely in part to the sale of each building upon lease up. For the cash flow projections, it was assumed that all buildings are sold 18 months after construction completion. Therefore, with the exception of the last building to be sold, Heron Quay, the buildings are sold toward the end of their free-rent periods and no rent is collected.

In these temptations, it is evident that Gawain was being tested. Knowing the final out come of the story, it is possible to see that Bertilak and his wife planned the hunts and temptations to coincide with each other. Whether this is true or not, Gawain has certainly proven his honor during his brief stay at Hautdesert Castle.
Valuation of real estates or properties basically, refers to appraising a property or a real estate to form an opinion about the value of the property. This value is normally the properties’ market value. Properties are heterogeneous in nature; meaning they are not all identical or alike and thus, they have different values. However, it is possible to get a range for the values. There are some obvious factors like physical location of a property that automatically makes the market value of different properties differ. The materials used on a property and other features also contribute to making property differ in their value. Other factors such as the physical size of a property still determine a property’s market value (Histon Fine Homes, 2008
