In reply to cl. Thanks. You know how many times I’ve reviewed a blank appraisal form with home owners, they’re various representatives, clients so they can have a basic framework to review and understand the existing form once it’s completed? I’ve been training everyone on better understanding of the genius simplicity of the one page adjustment grid for decades.
In reply to Baggins. Baggins, the new UAD 3.6 report is not a form, its a report. From what I’ve seen and know, its the best opportunity in many years for residential mortgage appraisers to be appraisers rather than simply form checkers. For those who are willing to take the time to adjust to a reporting process from a box checking form process, the client work and fees should be beneficial.

Advisors are on board and talks with interested parties have begun. The news comes as CEO Lauren Brindley departs the company.
Anyone have a paper printable form ready for review yet? The thing about these new forms; Much of the senior management whom insisted on their implementation are fired and walked out the building. Mr Pulte with FHFA should announce they’re scrapping the new appraisal forms project. If there is additional data wanted or needed, all they needed to do was develop a new form to accompany the existing one as a tag on.
The Maryland General Assembly recently passed the Budget Reconciliation and Financing Act of 2025. This new bill has significant tax implications for Maryland business owners and individuals.

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
Ah yes, UAD 3.6. Because what this industry really needed was another shiny layer of confusion pretending to be progress. Dropdown menus and 256-character limits to explain a complex property? Brilliant. Why bother with actual analysis when you can reduce everything to a glorified checklist? Meanwhile FHA and VA are still sitting on the fence so we get to play the fun game of which format to use and when.
Energy company EOG Resources, Inc. (NYSE: EOG ) shares are trading lower premarket on Friday. The firm inked a deal to acquire Encino Acquisition Partners (EAP) for $5.6 billion, including EAP’s net debt.

I am heart-sick at all of this – Baggins has me beat in years, but after 24 years, 100s of hours of education, etc., I do not want to be involved with this new UAD either. If I didn’t HAVE to work, I would retire and perhaps find a minimum wage job part time. Just had to put my software on a credit card again because my business does not support the costs, nor the everyday living expenses anymore (and I don’t live in some fancy home).

Meta Platforms asked a D.C. federal judge Friday to strike testimony the Federal Trade Commission's lead economics expert gave during a bench trial in the antitrust case over Meta's purchase of Instagram and WhatsApp, saying the "biased witness" a New York University School of Law professor "advocated" for the case.
A Virginia federal court granted a request from government agencies on Friday for internal Google LLC reports analyzing a potential breakup of its ad tech business, as the sides ready for a September trial to determine what remedies to impose on Google for monopolizing key ad tech markets.
Thermal management technology company Modine, advised by Godfrey & Khan, on Friday announced plans to acquire specialty heating solutions company L.B. White in a $112 million deal.
In reply to Bill Johnson. It is accelerating, as we always knew it would. Like a snowball rolling downhill. We’re all getting older at the same time. The next few years will see a massive decline, I think your estimate might be conservative.
Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz and Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld are advising EOG Resources Inc. on an agreement to acquire Encino Acquisition Partners from the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board for $5.6 billion including debt, EOG said on Friday.
The more I learn about the new rollout the more I am convinced I dont want anything to do with it. Ill take a class after the rollout for the CE, but wont be doing any of these assignments for the foreseeable future.
Delaware's senior Court of Chancery magistrate has ordered the director of Collectable Sports Assets LLC to provide more documents about the venture to a member investigating his personal value and stake in the business, while limiting some broader demands.
For the investment management industry, succession planning is not just a strategic necessity—it’s an important driver of firm value. As the wealth management industry evolves, with an estimated 40% of RIA founders approaching retirement age, effective succession planning can mean the difference between a thriving firm and a diminished valuation.
In reply to Bmatap. In California, there were 8,398 active licenses as of July 1st 2024, and as of today, May 30 2025, there are only 7,775. This is an 11% reduction in 11 months and means there is a daily decline of nearly 1.8 appraisers. In my county (San Diego / 3.3 million), there are 643 active appraisers and only one trainee who has started in the past 11 months.
On a recent client engagement, I was asked the question, “Why are Haig and Kerrigan’s multiples so far apart?” I’ve never really viewed them that way, as the blue sky multiples published in their quarterly newsletters tend to cluster reasonably close together.
Well, I just put my license as “retired” for 2025 and the more I read about this new all-in-one form it confirms to me that I probably won’t be activating it for 2026. If I wanted to be a check box chimp I could go get a job at an AMC. Or I could go get a job as a “data collector” for *ervicelin*. The hell with my 30+ years experience and hundreds of hours of education.
In the complex world of the oil & gas industry, a nuanced understanding of industry intricacies and valuation principles is vital. While it’s common to find specialists in either industry knowledge or valuation methods, a complete solution requires a synergy of both these domains.
In reply to KK Schware. Your disagreement with designated appraisers is way off. As an MAI who received my designation in 1990 after 11 years in the field and doing commercial and residential appraisals and reviews now for 45 years, I have paid dues to an organization that has Board of Directors in bed with AMCs, and profiting on our dues to line their own pockets!
