Where Do You Think "geographic Competency" Begins And Ends?

[George Hatch]

No, I think you are a free bird spirit, which is bad for the profession. Your actions speak to either antigovernment which you worked for as a policeman or you don’t comprehend all the risks on a micro and macro scale that appraisers limit.

Your change in position over the years points to outside influences on you. You GH.

You know, if the discussion is about me then it's not about the topic of this thread.

You started the thread. You have been playing these same cards a good while. When I first got on the forum, you were different.

Outside influences have changed you somehow. Your the only one that can disclose how they have changed you.

Okay George,

So what is the value of a national license to residential work, if the appraiser is still held to geo-competency?

 

[George Hatch]

You keep alleging outside influences. What kind of influences are you referring to?

Where did the topic of a national license come from? I've never once advocated for anything of the sort.

I may have failed at it at some point, but my intentions with USPAP geek stuff is to avoid conflating USPAP issues with licensing issues. Or lender issues, From my perspective, USPAP is merely one expression of the ongoing professional standards that have always been part of our profession, and from which it evolved. I'm trying to think in terms of the generic appraisal principles and concepts. Which existed prior to USPAP and which will continue to exist after USPAP is retired.

I think they meant "Our boards work together to serve the bankers."

You are different. You tell me. It has to be outside influences. Your mind seems in tact.

Ok, tell me how much your clients have changed over the past 10 years. Let us start there.

sure George,

But that wasn’t the question I asked. You made several posts that people would not answer your questions directly, then you do me the same disservice you complained about from others.

Here's a question for the gallery to consider:

If there is no authoritative definition of geographic competency for which the individual or the profession to refer then how does an individual defend their opinion that they're competent to perform that assignment? If there are no benchmarks for measuring compliance then on what basis can anyone criticize an appraiser for their opinion of their own competency?

As a concept, appraisal standards are not just a one sided rule that appraisers much comply with, but they also represent a defensible position for the appraiser - "because I met these benchmarks I am in compliance".
