3.6 The promises, the predictions, the panic and the fight for the dwindling appraiser dollars

[Sadie]

AHhhh...! There's the rub. I've been a Realtor for 50 years, used to run my own brokerage in Wisconsin for 20+ years before relocating to CA. I'd follow around the best home inspector I knew as he checked furnace, basements, electric etc. I was probably a PITA, but I learned a LOT! In CA, as in many places I'm sure, the agents do not accompany the Home Inspector for an hour or two as they do their inspections, and so those agents miss out on a bunch of knowledge that would help them help their clients. The Home Inspector I used wouldn't give a cost to repair, but he would tell me generally what the issue was so I could follow up with the best problem-solver. It was very helpful and educational. Unless agents have been in the biz for a long time, I'll bet they haven't invested time in gaining that kind of knowledge. Their client is their pocketbook in most cases, despite what their license says.

As I am basically starting from scratch over here in switching back to sales, I am once again sifting through service providers to add to my "stable" of problem-solvers. I doubt 90% of agents do that on their own here; often they rely on referrals from within their sales office. Unfortunately, my broker's focus is primarily on commercial, so he has little to offer on the res side. On the good side, he pays me a good split and is not a control freak, and doesn't require office meetings, tours etc. On the bad side, I'm basically on my own, like when I had my own brokerage years ago, but without the management responsibilities.

Contractors get a lot of work from realtors. My niece has used the realtor recommended contractors for years now, long after her sale closed. Her inspection came back with a long laundry list and the realtor was able to sort through what was important and what just sounded important. Any home buyer should have either that realtor with connections or have their own contractor type connections.

I'll take "Tell me you want us to invade your country without telling me" for $1000, Alex

Bold of you to assume anyone’s lining up for this chaos.

OK I will bite tell me how you know

side note Iran is going to use ballistic missles against israel in a different way the warheads will be like a dirty bomb loaded with nuclear
material Imagine how hard that will be to clean up. there will not be a mushroom cloud like areal nuke
Their missles can now reach western europe

They might as well drop them on their own head. They will be incinerated like Japan before they even land. It's good Trump is on this. The baby Hitlers need to be strangled in their cradles

No one is "lining up", but IF the Iranians were dumb enough to do this they would be signing the regime's death warrant is my point. They want to survive and are negotiating. My $$$ is on "The Art of The Deal" author.

Here is a bit about me and Iran and my experience with Iran pilots

During the mid‑1970s, Iran was a strong U.S. ally under the Shah, and that’s when American military personnel and Bell Textron ary/military military pilots lke me —trained Iranian crews on the Bell 214. The U.S. presidents during that period were Gerald Ford (1974–1977) and then and Jimmy Carter (1977–1981), covering the entire window when Iran was still aligned with the United States before the 1979 revolution.

I left from there and went to germany with my Texas Bride I met her at amarillo college

Well, maybe they could lower the management fees, Its not their decision to raise or lower appraiser fees.

Good luck with that.
