In reply to Clairene Mraz-Buonaiuto. I am really wondering of there is some sort of Disclosure that is being provided to the consumer that their personal photos are going to be fed into this AI and shared with who knows who? I am often asked who will see these photos? I feel like WE as appraisers need to disclose that we have ZERO control over where their personal photos are ending up. – I have been thinking about how to word another disclaimer in my reports on this topic.

The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today.

Key to this new mindset is understanding the difference between the Statement of Cash Flows, a historical look at the source and uses of cash, and the Cash Flow Statement, which uses transaction history and forward-l

One question that I have as an appraiser regarding appraisal review is, how does CU or unlicensed reviewers deal with reviewing the adjustment grid? That’s an area where many errors can be found, or unexplained adjustments might occur. Does CU or the unlicensed reviewer know what to look for or know what questions to ask? Do they perform an analysis to verify the information or produce a verified contrary opinion?

In reply to Pray Hard. No, customary and reasonable fees is not communism. C&R is the market rate in a free market not manipulated by people not actually performing the services. Like when you call any independent provider of services anywhere, they provide you their best possible quote for the quality and level of service performed. Take a survey of ten or a hundred or so similar contractors, kick out the outliers and skewed data points, and that average of service fees would be the market

In reply to Pray Hard. Please allow me to help you simplify the process. What’s your fee and turn time? How much was the consumer charged? You need to bid on this order for a chance to be assigned the order. I only work with companies whom assign the order directly to me and me alone at a reasonable standard and consistent billing rate. Because when you get lender clients whom operate that way, so many of those other problems you’re dealing with become few and far between.

In reply to Howard Wettreich. Comparing the peer model database against applied adjustments is how they created a virtual appraiser reviewer they presumed would be as reliable as a human licensed appraiser performing manually time intensive reviews.

It’s troubling to think that a forum ostensibly meant to serve and support appraisers would actively suppress content that aims to shed light on the predatory tactics of AMCs – the very entities that have long been accused of unfairly driving down fees, imposing unrealistic deadlines, and interfering with appraisers’ ability to do their jobs with integrity.
