@Hal Thompson and @Wayne Brooks, it's not that I dont want to hire and appraiser, it's that I am short on time to do so as I have an offer already. 

Hey Hal,Thanks for the message!

Quote from @Hal Lee: @Joshua Paul  I have bought three properties with them over the past 2.5 years and it has been a positive experience.

Hal the computer from Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" was built in Urbana, Illinois.The concentration of talent and wealth in Urbana (I am a proud graduate - Bronze Tablet - Class of 1984) makes this a very different market than those surrounding towns. 

@Hal ThompsonThis condiiton of the place had nothing to do with not treating these people properly.  

@Hal Thompson has some good points, and I am not as up to date on the Vegas market as he is, but Vegas was hit hard in the recession, and prices dropped like a rock.
