Alphabet reached far outside its industry boundaries to recruit its new CFO; Anat Ashkenazi, an Eli Lilly veteran, takes charge of the Google parent’s finances this summer, replacing Ruth Porat, who was promoted to president and CIO.

Speaker: Wayne Spivak - President and Chief Financial Officer of SBA * Consulting LTD, Industry Writer, and Public Speaker
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 Flash. Thank you. Estate is always available. If one was also comfortable dealing with lawyers, court rooms, all of that. Although still an appraisal service, that is significantly different then being in the consumer protection realm with origination.

This has become so comical. So now in addition to being racist and biased we are now incompetent. Hey, just part of their master plan to just keep piling on the coffin nails to seal our fate. This is just another coup de gras shot to ensure the industry is DOA. How some obscure entity can make such a ridiculous accusation is blasphemous. Hell, most “respected” publications will tell you any two appraisers worth their salt should be within 5% of one another.

There’s nothing like being an appraiser. The more you know, the more education you have, the more experience you have, the more expertise you have, the more you finish on time, the more accurate you are, etc., the more you’re considered nothing but a vendor, a tool, to pay as little as possible and to give as little civility and respect as possible.

In reply to Anthony Blackburn on Facebook. Housinwire has no interest in publishing content from appraisers. They removed the comment section, likely to avoid hearing critical feedback from the appraiser community. In fact, HousingWire has not featured an appraiser-authored article in quite some time. The publication is aligned with AMCs and will persistently promote their narrative against appraisers.

I do agree with the last quote “The growing gap.” paragraph, but not coming up to the contract price when you have accounted for market trends through timing adjustments isn’t a deficiency in the appraisal. Lets be honest, its the job of cash in the hands of buyers that want something more than they care about market value that often push the market to new heights.
