In reply to Eric Morse. That’s helpful. Thanks. There is a saying; There is no greater objection than absence. Which begs the question; If you feel that way, what are you doing here? We’re all in this together. Love it or leave it and the reason so many of us still participate despite the obstacles, is we truly believe in consumer protection and love of this industry.

In reply to Douglas Kues. There is no such thing as a summary report. There is self contained to a reasonable degree to withstand review scrutiny, and there is something less than that. And not all shortcomings are the same, hence the Penalty Review Matrix. Oh we did rally, and there was accountability. Remember the suspensions and revocations threads?

In reply to Bruce W Lennick. I’m part of that mill. I don’t know how many “deals I broke” My signature is sacred on any document. I’ve been overhauled by the state board a number of times. No violations, no administrative anythings. But with all the stuff rolling down hill and the major reason: a tumor in my head. I retired.

636 days. or 1 year, 8 months, 27 days. or 20 months, 27 days………… until I can stop payng for E & O. Stop paying for license renewal. Stop paying for MLS membership.

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 PJTMC. Yeah but why would an appraiser use the word ‘desirable’ in the first place? There is amenity, and lack of amenity. There is reduced effective age, and depreciated condition. There is positive market acceptance, or something less than that. There is competition among interested market participators, vs lack of competition factors.

Retired, so glad to be out of this mess that has been conjured up by several entities related to the real estate transactions. This has been going on for sometime and it is not just the fault of the “outsiders” Appraisers are at fault as well and it started in the late 80’s and early 90’s when some appraisers created the “puppy mill affect”, those that have been appraising for the last 30 to 40 years know what I am talking about.

Sadly, there is far more appraisal bias in those appraisals that “meet” the number than those that don’t. Appraisers regularly intentionally “meet” the number so that they don’t get “wrongly accused” of being biased yet commit the crime of being biased in doing so.

Very true. The appraiser is now the bogey man, scapegoat, whipping boy of the lending industry. We used to be the lone independent voice of facts and reason in the lending process that assured a legitimate value free of influence. Even the government has forgotten about our true role which is to provide market value of property to guarantee loans, government backed loans and bundled mortgage backed investments.

In reply to Bruce W Lennick. If I could agree with you more, I would, but cannot. Right on target with this post, and now that you are retired wouldn’t it be sweet to find a few of us that share the sentiment and provide a fairly reasonable solution that would put things back into some sort of equally reasonable perspective. We still remain about the only industry that I am aware of where the customer writes the rules.
