It ain't right coming from a hillbilly from Tennessee.
 
I forgot to add past president of a community bank. I don't think that adds anything.
 
Okay,

back to OP. Use your E&O. Get legal help.
 
Let me go back.

"NOTICE NO WILDCATS REFERENCE "MARKET VALUE".

They don't even give definition of value they proclaim.

Where is state board on that?


I am telling you state board can't handle this.

It has to go federal to solve the overall problem.

Get back on your Meds person of the public-does not have o give a definition of market value thats the appraisers job to do in his report. And this is a State Administrative Action and has nothing to do with Federal Courts . Contact you local community College hey may have some cheap coursework on the differences in the Branches of Goverment and no it also has nothing to do with the Constitution.
 
Have an attorney with you who is versed in license law. I say this as one who served 9 years on my state's 'appraisal board'.
Very few lawyers know anything about appraisals, USPAP or even the state appraisal law. My observation has been that you will insult the board when you bring an attorney. In my state nearly anyone with a complaint will be offered a settlement prior to any board meeting. The staff attorney makes an offer that can be accepted or if not your case will go to the board. From my observations the board is insulted and pays no attention to the attorney. Of course no board member would agree with this or admit it happens.

Agree even the real estate attorneys we work with are normally not very USPAP knowledgeable because outside of Administrative Licensing Laws most Civil Cases are not about usually about USPAP issues and are often done after the appraiser had already been charged by his State Board . Many apprasreirs have no idea what the difference is between Administrative Actions and when Administrative Law Courts and judge's come into play and so they immediately jump on call your attorney when there is no litigation even going on and for minor infractions showing up to a meeting with an attorney is often just way to irritate some people who were going to give you a free pass .

I disagree. Just let board know attorney will be there. Nothing wrong with that. Let the appraiser's attorney visit with state attorney before hand. Let appraiser's attorney and state lawyer set next appointment. That's what I would do. I don't really care whose feelings it hurts. If it hurts their feelings, they have issues that say they can't handle the job.

That goes back to the internal problems that exist if they have issues.

Okay, let's pull 3,000 appraisals in every state and review them for USPAP violations. Make sure any board member has random appraisals pulled in the process and a independent reviewer is employed to look for USPAP violations. See what happens. Let's pull 10,000 in every state. Let's pull every appraisal a board member has performed in last year. I want work files with the pulls. Give them a week to provide. See what happens.
 
When these types of threads are created the OP typically doesn't describe the subject property....
Are they complex or typical properties for the area????

Rural, ocean front, lake front, landfill front, etc.????
Or typical residential property....

Because even the reviewers reviewing typical residential properties employ THE BOOK OF ADJUSTMENTS....
