The CEO of Dell doesn't assemble computers either.

WTF are you talking about? Michael Dell possesses deep, lifelong technical knowledge of computers, having dismantled his first Apple II at age 15 to understand its internal components and logic flow. He built his early business by purchasing wholesale components, assembling custom PCs, and selling them directly to consumers, leveraging his understanding of hardware to offer lower prices than traditional retailers.

The job at TAF isn't doing physical inspections on row houses-it's about working with the others in the field who share different skills.

If she had the experience in appraising as Mr Dell has with computers, I wouldn't have commented in this thread. She has no idea with her 300K salary what appraisers are going through.

Unlike Mr. Dell, Ms. Davids has no experience.....none... of being a boots on the ground appraiser to be spouting off that we are a critical and an integral part of the real estate process.... that we need to Kumbaya with AMC's and lenders. She's like our Mayor here in Los Angeles.... "I'm going to fix the Homeless Problem." Right.

Yeah, I wasn’t going bring up that Michael dell built computers when he was a teenager and dropped out of college to start a computer company. I try to let glenn have a few wins every now and then. It keeps him coming back.

In the way that Glenn answers appraisal questions, there's no way that a PAREA grad or a True Footage taught appraiser is going to even come close to his wealth of knowledge and experience, even though he's not appraising anymore. Different times now. The lenders don't want him or any of the Aging out appraiser any longer.

When I'm working appraisals, I'm primarily a hard money, non-GSE guy. I've done my time with AMC's and I'm not sure if I'll ever go back... if I do, it's going to be full AI appraisals.... my only concern would be the neighborhood boundaries and comparables....AI can handle the rest. They're verified you know.....

Ms. Davids should be made to take the appraisal courses that we do and do 20 uad 3.6 reports to retain her position. Edit: For Clear Capital....

Yes Michael Dell did build his first computer's but he hasn't been hands on in 25 years but you guys love to say that unless a career appraiser is boots on the ground and out measuring houses he's no longer qualified to operate a large AMC or work at a GSE or run TAF.

But your forgeting that working as a one man shop and vendor is not any sort of real qualifications to operate much else .

are you saying we cant do her job...which by the posts here is nothing

We know..... you got yours. Obviously, you went to the dark side and are cheering on the financial exploitation by lenders & AMCs, which as you very well know retain the majority of fees paid by the borrowers, leaving appraisers with stagnant, low compensation for increasing workloads. Good thing you missed that, right?

Your missing the point and that is being qualified to manage a group of people or represent thousands in the profession is more then getting ones shoes dirty. it's about trying to keep up on the laws and being able to effectively communicate with all the other agencies and users.

The appraisal world is part of the bigger picture and can't continue operating in isolation or it's voice can't be heard.

Yes I'm saying you couldn't do her job because you have no people skills and don't have the ability to get along with the bureaucratic types that get nominated or placed on these committees.

If you could you'd be sitting on one collecting the easy money. That's okay most don't even want the job but their also not obsessed with how others run it.

I never went to the Dark Side I grew up in it and never knew there was a so called enlightened side and it's just a business to me not a religion or a spiritual calling or a cult of we versus them.

I do know USPAP wasn't created
to help appraisers but designed for the State and Federal regulators and prosecutor's to be the guide and tool used to punish or revoke appraisers licenses.
