Unintended consequence of reviews

[Joyce Potts]

Yet, Texas is a non disclosure state. The irony.

What are the top three violations?

In my experience:

• failure to adequately analyze and report highest and best use - especially the legally permissible portion
• failure to adequately support adjustments in the SCA
• failure to adequately support the opinion of site value (which, I guess, could also be attributable to the first issue)

Then there are the low hanging USPAP violations:

• failure to report prior services
• failure to report prior transfers
• failure to express an opinion of exposure time

wouldn't have it any other way.

I don’t believe in an anonymous complaint. We have the right legally to face our accusers, or so I was told when I was a youngster. If you are compelled to file a complaint against me, then have the guts to face me about it or keep your mouth shut.

Too many cowards in the system.

Texas doesn't either.

In Florida, the appraisers facing state administrative complaints are the ones who elect to go before the administrative law judge with an attorney. I've seen some of the most egregious appraisals skirt disciplinary action that way. Yet, few appraisers in Florida are even aware of the Admin Judge alternative.

Let me see if I am reading you right. You have to fight fire with fire? Am I off base?

 

[Zoe]

You and I know what the base is Joyce.

Like baseball. You can't move the bases. I know my base.

I've turned in 4 in my career, 2 CRs and 2 MAI's. Problem with this state is that they keep most disciplinary actions confidential so you never know if you wasted your time or not.

Petition your state using their version of FOIA. Not all public actions are published to, say, the state website but it can be obtained by request.

does florida ask the appraiser if they were given a chance to fix their errors...

I'm mostly retired these days so I'm not inclined to do a FOIA. Their rationale is that they don't want to publish all of the disciplinary actions because "it could hurt someone's business". What F'n nonsense. The ones I turned in should lose their licenses, the CRs for terminal incompetence and the MAIs for being nothing more than hired guns producing any number requested, as long as the fee is high enough.
