In reply to BAM. Then ONLY the big AMCs will remain. THEY are the biggest part of the problem to begin with. Read the old articles in Appraisersblogs about Mark Skapinetz battles with Coester VMS, “creator” of the one-size-fits-all all national AMC fee.

In order to keep the compliance folks here at the SEC happy, I must first note that the views I express here today are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of the full Commission or of my fellow Commissioners. Considering the ongoing changes in financial landscapes, the need for thorough economic analysis of the Commissions actions becomes increasingly important.

In reply to Peter LoGrasso. Have YOU joined AGA? or any of the other organizations that formed specifically to fight for appraisers AS A GROUP? ARCC? At AGA in 2015, we managed to get an already passed, & signed law killed by burying it in the appropriations committee of my state through our parent union, until it expired. There’s a limit as to how much our parent union is willing to do for the good of the profession’s non-members.

In a new essay, I compare a judicial revolution that is happening with one that is not. Both the change and the status quo are being managed by the current Supreme Court. , When it comes to administrative law, the justices have shown a capacity to revisit everything, but when it comes to securities regulation, they have resisted change. The distinction the Court has drawn is surprising -securities regulation is a variant of administrative law, and corporate American has complained about the bur

The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today. But however well-known these sayings might be, it requires a change in mindset to properly implement a cash flow management system that predicts your business's runaway as accurately as possible. 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

In reply to Mary Thompson Thompson. Now we have the issue or concern about whether PAREA classes were part of the (alleged) test result falsifications AI is accused of engaging in. The whole idea of PAREA was bad to begin with. IF test results are unreliable, then the whole program fails. Very unfair to those who spent money and thought they were being properly educated.

In reply to Sue Louisignau. Sue, maybe someone should give them the ASC website. Vermont is showing 2,249; NH 2,755 & Mass 3,112. I misread and included Maine as well 2,565. Now, not all are active, and it includes out of state reciprocals but the numbers suggest the AMCs really mean they haven’t bothered to look very hard. When it comes to claims of specific state shortages, AMCs and lenders have been notorious liars, trying to get on the waiver-train.

In reply to Sue Louisignau. Have not kept up with all the details, but many of the appraiser CE outlets were consolidated, and I think there is many amc tie ins to ownership and networked representatives now. Amc’s continue to decimate the appraisal industry and stifle growth in multiple ways. We’re all waiting to see if FHFA provides necessary industry corrections, revitalizes the requirements for lenders to use full service appraisers more rather than less.

In reply to Mary Thompson Thompson. Brain drain. Institutional memory. The appraisal industry apparently has dealt with severe conflicts of interest, incompetent leadership, and co opted legislative structuring for decades. ‘Stake holders’ set everyone up to fail with their racketeering and restriction of trade policies. Their applied appraisal data via intellectual property theft and vain reliance on avm’s has already led to some pretty substantial market imbalances and artifi
