Aport "agreement" results R in

[Tony V]

Hi Doug! I dont believe pressuring Bob about Aport will have any effect beyond annoyance. It's beyond the Board's Scope of Work to concern themselves with what third party portals are doing to appraisers.
Having said that, I would offer this tidbit: During a conversation (last week) with a contact at L/Safe, I was told that geographic compentency issues with thier Plano, TX reviewers has been resolved due to Bob's intervention in that matter. They took him seriously and now defer to the local review panel. So change effected ouside the USPAP Cop role is possible, given the right topic. Just have to pick a problem and hope it gets through.....

That is good news....Hopefully other boards get wind of this and decide to act ..

Considering Bob is the Pres of AARO, I would think that the wind would not have far to blow.....

Is there a public record of that exchange and can we get it to review. I would like to see his arguments and so I can present this to the NCAB.

We should pursue nuggets like this and always support enpowerment of the State Boards while reducing the TAF's influence.

The AARO and Individual Boards really need to transfer responsibility back to them from the TAF. States laws are often quite different and the TAF input and effect may vary greatly around the country. This is very beneficial for fighting companies who engage in quid pro quo as a normal course of business to the detriment of appraisers.

This is what I found in the 4/08 Board Meeting Minutes. It's my understanding that Landsafe was contacted and "cautioned" by the ACLB:

Unlicensed Out-Of-State Reviewers (Zell):​

​

​

The Board discussed issues of out-of-state appraisers conducting reviews of
appraisals on Oregon properties wherein the reviewer is not licensed in Oregon, constituting unlicensed appraisal activity.
The Board discussed alternative solutions. Keith suggested that the Board contact appraisal management companies,
cautioning them against using appraisers that are not licensed in Oregon to conduct reviews of appraisals on Oregon
properties. Herman recommended, and Board members agreed, that the Board should refer the individual cases directly
for enforcement action.​

Paul, I believe it was the August 20, 2007 meeting.

Thanks for reminding me R-Man, Tawfik is the appraiser that initially brought this problem to the Board's attention (as a result of first hand experience if I remember correctly).
