National Appraiser Boycott

[George Hatch]

Yup. Remember, it could get a lot worse.

I sure did make that point, and it still stands. However bad people think it is now, it could get worse.

That’s fair. Is it too much to ask for them to not bend over backwards for Revaa too?

Their mission statement used to have public trust in it. I can’t imagine it still does.

Have you considered looking? Just think, instead of making the careless crack without even thinking about it you could have taken 2 minutes to look for yourself to avoid the factual error.

I have no idea. Depends on what your career is before you get into this. What’s your degree in, if you even have 1. But No substitute for experience.

2-3 years as a trainee under direct supervision of a certified appraiser is a good standard.

Okay, so what percentage of those appraisers who you are accusing of being inexperienced (and by extension, incompetent) do you think have less than 3 years of experience, working under the organizational ladder of a more experienced supervisor or manager?

Take a guess. More than 20% or less than 20%? Because MOST SLs and CRs these days have at least as much experience as you.

I know how many we are seeing, so I can pretty conservatively extrapolate from there.

Edit: Maybe an overshoot. But if so, I think not too far off. GSEs see 350k per month, so 200/business day would only represent 1.25%.

I do VA appraisals with a few other direct lenders also ordering appraisals. I have not had a single order for 3.6 yet. With that being said, when the software is functioning properly, I will probably be doing the 3.6 when needed. I will not need several classes to complete an assignment, just like I didn't need much help learning the original 1004 or the 2.6. This is not rocket science. I am sure I will do just fine adapting to the 3.6 when needed. I am certainly not going to whine about it on any forum. I am going to learn how to solve the problem just like I have for 35 years. I am just not going to push it until I absolutely need to do it while the kinks get worked out. VA appraisers can't switch to AIVRE without owning another software that has the 2.6 unit the VA adopts the 3.6.

I also refuse to do hybrid appraisals. Any lender that would not allow an appraiser to inspect for a supervising appraiser should not be allowed to do hybrid appraisals with non-appraiser inspections. It is a major double standard that all of sudden that is okay, but they still will not all trainee inspections on full appraisals.

As most know, I'm not in the appraisal game any longer but I still feel for appraisers.
The reality is nobody GAF about you, your business or the industry unless ................they can make a buck off it.

A couple of friends and I are working on solving a cold case from 1977. 2 girlfriends of my wife were brutally murdered. The ill equipped small suburb botched the investigation (perhaps aided by a suspected dirty cop). We have explored myriad avenues trying to get somewhere on this. Podcasts, local news, national shows even hometown hero Oprah wouldn't help.

There are unfortunately many thousands of similar situations across the country.

The truth is nobody GAF!

As a previous poster said, focus on what you can control about your life and your business. Make it work for you or move on, there is nothing sacred about being an appraiser.

Good luck to all.

I don't think many folks are availing themselves of the hybrid offering. Ends up being more expensive and takes longer to get both documents back. The exception to that would be the case where AUS offers ACE+PDR, then the offering gets rescinded for some reason - then hybrids do make sense.

Did you know I have alligator skin? You won't hurt my feelings. I focus on real property rights. It is what I do.
