I have gotten this exact ruling in state court matters, many times. The
lesson I take from it was to put on whatever I have, regardless of how weak
it is, because you never know what the opposition does or does not have.

I had a case with VZ once. My only evidence was a very good declaration from the debtor. The bank included no evidence of value (the issue was cash collateral). VZ said, "Well I'm supposed to weight the evidence. On one side I have no evidence and on the other I have evidence which is near worthless. The worthless evidence outweighs the no evidence."

What about the Debtor's opinion if they research it with good facts on
comparables? Believe it or not, I've gotten one through before with him
I learned since I started this post, but he may have overlooked the
quality of the evidence because of other problems.

A BPO is a waste of time in Donovan's courtroom.

Donovan has told me in open court he doesn't think much of BPOs.

I don't know about Judge Donovan specifically, but Judge Zurzolo summarized in open court the basic rules of evidence for admissible evidence of value: either a broker's price opinion, authenticated by a declaration that sets forth the broker's qualification to form an opinion and the basis of the opinion; or the debtor's lay opinion, in a declaration establishing that the debtor is the owner of the property in question.
This was in an uncontested matter; cross examination, weight, objections to foundation etc. make a contested matter different.

Does anyone know if Thomas Donovan requires an appraisal for the
property in a 522(f) motion or does he only require a broker's opinion?
Or does he even allow a Debtor's opinion if backed up with comparables?
