In reply to Midwest Appraiser. Lenders and their agents shall compensate fee appraisers at a rate that is customary and reasonable for appraisal services performed in the market area of the property being appraised. Evidence for such fees may be established by objective third-party information, such as government agency fee schedules, academic studies, and independent private sector surveys.
Behind a towering legal legacy was a man who loved to hike mountains, could recall details of things he read decades ago and was always there for those he cared about, a New Hampshire attorney said as he reflected on a lifelong friendship with U.S. Supreme Court Justice David Souter.
OMG, this thread is going to be incredible. Everyone; share this, post please. All too many licensed appraisers at the amc management level, many whom coordinate with the amc trade groups or are integrated alongside, they should all have their licenses stripped. There are hundreds perhaps thousands whom have embraced anti trust, racketeering, restriction of trade, junk fee billing, among other deceptive and non transparent practices which has caused substantial harm to other licensees and the ge

In reply to Working Appraiser. Amc’s have been trashing most working appraisers for two decades. They’ve decimated gse appraisers working positions, advocated against traditional process and developed tools and processes which have put tens of thousands of appraisers out of business, the attrition continues. All the appraisal trade groups had ample time to respond.

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 Dave. I worked in Montana for 2 years. They refused to give me a reciprocal Certified General after having my license since 1992. I was in good standing so the reasons they gave were that back when CA started giving licenses, the State didn’t review my work as if it was an application for a designation. I had no control over how my home state awarded licenses.

Succession planning is often misunderstood as a one-time event—a moment when an RIA owner transitions leadership and exits the firm. In reality, succession is best viewed as a process, not a single event. It is a strategic, ongoing effort that requires continuous planning and preparation over many years.
In reply to Baggins. This again shows how people that criticize an organization that dont belong to it just really make leaps of logic for things they have no experience or information about. You know that there are many people that work for lenders and AMCs that also happen to be members of various Appraisal organizations, including the Appraisal Institute?

The retired Justice David Souter defied simple definition, viewed as a staunch conservative until he co-wrote an opinion upholding abortion rights in 1992. He did not hew to partisan lines, but reshaped the civil litigation landscape and took an unexpected stand in an extraordinarily close presidential election.
Baggins me thinks you mischacterize the profession. I’m not mad at the AMC’s because I work according to my own standards and my own fees. And, I know many who do the same. I will agree that too many appraisers are AFRAID to demand higher fees, but that is their call.
In reply to Baggins. Thanks for the condescending comments. I surely haven’t read or understand as much as you. After all, the lawsuit is facts, right? As soon as you make an allegation, it’s true. That’s what I learned in law school. Just like appraiser bias- all those lawsuits were true- right? There were no opposing viewpoints. Allegations = facts.
The Justice Department and Google are wrapping up a three-week hearing that could have a major impact on the search giant and how people gather information online.
Just had to respond to a review from a Clear CRAPital appraiser who disagreed with my opinion of valuewithout offering any actual analysis. They just copied and pasted the same generic boilerplate Clear Capital is known for and slapped a number on it. I was honestly stunned at how far off their value was compared to mineuntil I saw the reviewer lives in Virginia, holds licenses in four different states, and is somehow reviewing (while being geographically competent) on a California appraisal.
