Are Staff Appraisers paid customary and reasonable fees?

C'mon now, who are you trying to kid? Nobody values a junior licensee (or any licensee) enough to single them out for a job like that. You got the same email 10,000 other licensees got.

The fact remains that regardless of how you became aware of the job opening, you submitted an application to work for them, they screened that application and they went through their due diligence efforts before extending the job offer to you. The MOST you could say about their employment process is that the interaction was mutual.
"Hey Jeff, We are opening up an appraisal review team. Would you like to be a part of it?"

They requested my assistance, not the other way around. How you can spin this is ridiculous to me. Employers need labor. What point are you even trying to make?
 
So they gave a Novice a chance to learn and get paid at the same time.
I was already a certified residential appraiser. Only one other person was an appraiser on the team that eventually expanded to 6 people. Yes I did learn a lot. And they paid well and treated their employees well. Best company I've worked for.

So why would you leave ?

If they paid more, I would still work there. But why sit at a bank desk for $30/hr when I can sit at my own desk for $60/hr? And I get to see inside cool houses.
 
Interestingly, I produced more value for the bank than I generate working for myself. I don't make $800 every 8 hours. Maybe a few weeks last year.
 
I'll tell you something else. You SAY you're a libertarian socialist but the only way our society can force employers to share the profits with the workers is via growing and empowering the State to force them to do it. At gunpoint. All "REVOLUTION" means is replacing one govt with another govt. The fckwits in Seattle's CHOP demonstrated that much.

IRL we can't even accomplish an anarcho-syndicate from of governance in our own household, and that's despite the high affinity relationships and familial accountability which exist in a household.

And neither did they you confuse gross with net , most banks have a lot of overhead :)
 
The bank was starting an inhouse AMC. I was part of a new 4 person team that reviewed all residential appraisals for the bank. Before us, appraisals were just reviewed by the underwriters and loan processors.
So there was a previously existing relationship and the job was not your first interaction with them or the result of them making some cold call on the blind basis.

I'm not going to argue the specifics of a situation I can't see in its entirety. The point still remains, regardless of how you ended up working there you still exercised an alternative based on your own priorities. Nobody forced you to do anything. Instead of blaming them for that you should come to terms with how much of your outcome is the direct result of the choices you have made.
 
the current system concocked by crooked coumo and the bailout gse and modeled after the failed countrywide AMC and eappraseit does not ensure public trust. ask the op and marin city :rof:
:rof: :rof:
 
I don't understand the leap you are making. Why does profit sharing imply that everyone is self employed? You hire employees because there is demand for them.
One gets paid an agreed upon wage. Why should I share my profit with you? You took no risk, I did by creating a job for you. It is not a hard concept, really it is not.
