Not blaming appraisals at all, as they really had no say in it from day one anyways. I am simply pointing out we provided no way for new appraisers to enter the profession. Its always been a hodgepodge and a mess and plenty of blame to go around but its simply no longer fixable .
i disagree, certification flooded our ranks like a sunami, and you want more water. tell me how it improved it, especially dumbing it down. there are still too many for this to be great again. when i started i had to wait for an appraiser to die to get a foothold. but at this point i do feel bad for most of you who are not near retirement, or past it, age.I am simply pointing out we provided no way for new appraisers to enter the profession.
I was here before Certifications and the Bar was very low if you knew someone. But for many they never had an opportunity to get in until Licensing was enacted. There is plenty of blame to go around but the fact is that its a real mess now.i disagree, certification flooded our ranks like a sunami, and you want more water. tell me how it improved it, especially dumbing it down. there are still too many for this to be great again. when i started i had to wait for an appraiser to die to get a foothold. but at this point i do feel bad for most of you who are not near retirement, or past it, age.
Well appraisers "had" a way for new appraisers to enter the profession until the HVCC.I am simply pointing out we provided no way for new appraisers to enter the profession
Agree 100% BUT you forgot how many appraisers were 100% all behind HVCC and all out to kill off their mortgage brokers as clients. Many were NOT bright enough to realize that they unknowingly were helpingWell appraisers "had" a way for new appraisers to enter the profession until the HVCC.
The HVCC eliminated the working relationships with lenders and brokers that had been in place for decades. Enter AMC's and the complete fall of fee shops where noobies garnered their appraisal chops.
Were some fee shops not training properly? Of course not! But the lenders accepted those crappy, non-supported,
appraisals anyways and subsequently, with the AMC model in place, stopped accepting appraisals with licensed trainees or even licensed appraisers requiring only certified appraisers inspecting and drawing up the reports.
"Every man for himself" was now the new appraisal model. No more trainees, no more significant assistance provided, no new appraisers coming into the industry. Poof...gone.
No governmental or professional oversight was utilized to address the potential impact of the HVCC to the appraisal industry....(What else is new?) Obviously, PAREA was not well thought out either...
I understand that but this is not about getting appraisers more work.hey glen, i waited to the last week to get certified when it came about. my cert number 671. last i looked back when it was busy, i thing the appraisers number had passed 3,000. get the number down to where it works as a living by a professional highly trained individual. i did also help my own downfall, had 6 trainees before & when certification, who got certified.
