Respondent’s State Certified Residential Real Property Appraiser license was appropriately revoked after he conducted a property appraisal that contained numerous inconsistencies, errors, and omissions of required information. The failure to employ the techniques necessary to produce an accurate and credible appraisal resulted in the valuation of a property at $145,500, instead of its true fair market value of $58,000. Reliance on this wildly inaccurate appraisal caused the lender significant monetary harm in connection with its financing and refinancing of the property.
