Thanks everyone I appreciate all of your feedback and so quickly to I spoke to someone from Mckissic yesterday afternoon and doing some research found that the reason the Parea Got ditched was that it was around $17,000 to go through the program. I was referred to the CE shop if I had continued interest in taking that virtual program.

You need to find a mentor or try another place like the Appraisal Institute for the PAREA program to skip the mentorship route and get licensed and certified on the fast track so you can go out on your own. In reply to james peters. BUT GOOD LUCK with that. I can tell you my mentorship was invaluable for me to really learn the business.

Well, it looks like McKissock PAREA project has gone from "parea-dise" to "parea-don me, we're canceling it."

In reply to IMJSAYN. Definitely was. I was at the ARROW conference in 2017. It was just in its infancy. I think they had started the research the prior year.

Our experience with the AMC’s IS they require an additional 3 years in the field experience BEFORE they will privilege you to their panel; amazing as that sounds!

I really liked that outfit for years but moved away several years ago. I never had to be a trainee. That system doesn’t work so well. Before licensing the lenders were on the hook regarding the qualifications of the appraiser they used.

It’s no surprise that the PAREA effort to bypass the traditional method of appraisers mentoring trainees is quickly being squashed once AMC’s were given the go-ahead to swoop in and take a chunk of the appraisal fee for themselves.

[link] Anyone have anything solid why McKissock pulled back other than speculation? Previously published documents indicate 8 different companies working on parea class systems development. Previously published documents indicate 8 different companies working on parea class systems development.

In reply to james peters. Tenacity and determination are the two most important qualifications to reach your goal. You either make up your mind that you’re going to grit your teeth and get through it, if you can find a mentor, and just put your helmet on and go for it. ” 0

Reviewing PAREA licensure details published by AQB and it looks like someone can be fully licensed with only 3 reports written and never having been inside a property. Does anyone else see some potential issues here?

Plus, what’s the incentive to enter a profession of ever diminishing returns where GSEs are actively narrowing the field of practice,, costs of PAREA aside.

As if McKissock cares about affordability of their products, please. Maybe the were worried about educator side liability, having realized parea itself is doomed to fail and they did not want all the students blaming them. One imagines they had serious complications trying to set up ‘virtual inspection’ classes as well.

PAREA was being introduced and was just being persued as a possibility because so many appraisers wouldn’t bring on trainees. I remember the ARROW conference of 2017. The discussion was on bringing in fresh blood. Finally Frank (if I remember correctly) got up to the microphone and went off about the elephant in the room.

It is always about money and Mckissock wants to make money not lose it! Sad thing is most of us will be gone by the time the sun sets on these new ideas and they will be wishing they left us alone and let us do our jobs for which we are well trained already.

I just finished the Mckissock 94 hour appraisal training program for georgia while working my concrete company. What is one to do after all of this ? I did not know that it was going to take sooo much time to achieve this goal. there needs to be a better way.

PAREA was an idea in 2017, was discussed at the 2018 AARO conference, and was officially announced as an accepted method to become an appraiser at the spring AARO conference in Seattle WA in 2019. The only one that has a PAREA program is the Appraisal Institute. Their program was approved by TAF in the spring of 2023.

In reply to OUTATIME. That is absolutely true. I have come to learn that all AMCs have absolutely no interest in appraiser support. Their one and only goal is to protect and serve their clients at all costs with no regard whatsoever for the appraiser. Yes some of us have to work for AMC’s to survive.

I didn’t even know McKissock had a PAREA program, I’ve taken several classes from them and have overall been pleased with the offerings, but this whole model is on-line, the PAREA does involve a supervisor of some sort, something McKissock to my knowledge has ever offered.

“potentially hinder individuals from pursuing a career in appraisal due to financial constraints” Well……it costs so little to become an attorney or a medical doctor or an accountant. sarcasim) Okay… so attorney’s, doctors and accountants actually have status and offer a real salary to live a decent life.
