For All You Non-believers

keep in mind that FHA appraisers who keep doing the job right, full HFA inspections, (charge for them) accurate reporting of property inadequacies, (be sure to differentiate between cosmetic and health and safety) will begin to be noticed as ethical professional appraisers by ethical lenders. *Note* print and take the old VC condition pages with you to each FHA inspection. (don't add or reference them in the body of the report) keep them in the work file, they help you "not to forget an inspection item. They are also helpful when questioned on the FHA report.

You assume that lenders actually want ethical appraisers.

When I was a chief appraiser, I occasionally got such e-mails from disgruntled loan agents, laughed, and then pressed the delete button.

So Chief Vern just how many times do you need to tell everyone that you were once a chief appraiser? Maybe you can put it in your profile in a cute blue color like the moderators have.

I had a case where I had a LO solicitate me for FHA loans because I am also a Realtor. I ask particular questions about how they handle the appraisal process, sure enough they have Skippy and demand unethical behavior, when I asked them about this they expressed that they were not doing anything wrong and that all their appraisers do it, also with FHA. I sent the info to the HUD Hotline and documented on the MFWL. About a month later, I received that the matter had been investigated and closed. In other words, they got busted.

So Yes, the HUD Hotline does work. They also track www.mortgagefraudwatchlist.org.

How do you interpret that to mean they got busted? What was the actual outcome? That sounds like gov't speak for we didn't do anything at all....

Why the personal attack? With Vernon's background he just might have something worth saying for those smart enough to listen.

Yes it would be nice to get some positive feedback.

What personal attack? He's been harping for months about there being no such thing as appraiser black lists. If Vern has a problem with my posts, let him speak for himself

I would not mistake being ignored for winning the argument.

Apparently there are no black lists in Boca Raton, Virginia.

Offshore, you are missing the point. I don't think "Offpoint" has been taken as a screen name, if you are interested.

Mentor maybe you should consider "comp check cheerleader."
