This was being worked on within the agencies before the liberal woke crowd showed up but with racial appraisal being one of the Administration and HUDS Directors agendas against appraisers- unconsciousness towards their racial bias and un--wokeness -it would certainly make sense to incorporate it into the programs larger goals to lower costs for people of color or ones located in lower income communities. Also in disputes about a low value since Evaluation are so much less expensive a lender could order two or three to see which one accomplished making the borrower happy. Cheaper than a federal Civil Rights discrimination lawsuit and settlement. Also Realtors Nationwide are fairly diverse with a high numbers of people of color and sexual identity and it would certainly be an-easy sell. So if I was a Director of NAR or some other-large trade group I would be all over it like white on rice . Lets face it a 10 person lobby from most organized appraisal organizations looks more like a assisted care facility let 10 old white guys go free : ) LMAO
My understanding is that lots of different professions self adopted USPAP as a guideline like some Personal Property and Machinery appraisers do but its not a State Mandated requirement like with Appraisers ? A particular organization representing those non-real estate appraisers may require it but again not a State law. that is similar with manufacturing and ISO Standards-its not a law but most even small manufactures adhere to it and have an -ISO administrator on site or they wont get contacts.
LOL - label mania. 1990s thinking. Meanwhile, what really matters is who is doing what. They can't stop an appraiser (licensed or otherwise) from explaining what they're doing.
You don't deal with as many NAR members as I do and their logic. Our local MLS board has had licensed appraisers on the board for ages to bring NAR members back to reality.
YES BUT when the apprarsier does an-Evaluation he/she has to remove his apparsiers hat and put on his Evaluators hat because he/she want to make it clear that it's not an-appraisal -You do not attach or use your appraisal license number because its not an-appraisal .
George did you spend one minute thinking what you are saying ? Quote: This is an-"not" an-appraisal performed in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Appraisal Practice !--However this work product does meet all the minimum requirements of SR1/SR2/ of USPAP --Thats what USPAP calls a Limited appraisal that had a lessor scope of work where you were able to skip some processes etc. BUT its still an -appraisal. On Non-Appraisal products like Evaluations- CMA-Brokers Price Opinions-do not Fall under State Appraiser laws or guidelines and yes a licensed apprarsier acting in a different capacity can use whatsoever standards he wants to adhere to but once you invoke USPAP- You have now stepped into a liability landmine because you have to decide what you want-to be when you-grow up - if you want to be an-appraiser adhering to USPAP thats fine but when you change hats and produce a lesser cheaper product that doesn't even require any kind of license and when your State Board rules Evaluations are not appraisals and not under USPAP you take that gift- you dont pull yourself back up under USPAP because now you have completed-an -appraisal and you are not an -Not an Evaluator.
