USPAP is always on here too. The only thing I have been saying on this thread is what I have always been told in many appraisal classes. Yes, you can be an appraiser and a broker, and no, you cannot do both at the same time on the same property.
The following is a bio of a someone I have known for about 20 years. He is an AL appraisal board member. He also is an active broker and has listings all over the place.
"Gene graduated from Mississippi Southern College with a degree in Business Administration with an emphasis on real estate. He opened his real estate appraisal office in Huntsville in 1970, and in 1975, Gene obtained the MAI designation from the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers. He has served the Appraisal Institute in numerous positions on a voluntary basis, including Secretary/Treasurer, Vice President and President of the Alabama Chapter. He also served nine years on the Board of Directors of the Appraisal Institute, and it’s predecessor, the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers. Of those nine years, four were served as Regional Chair for Region IX, and two as Vice Chair for Region IX."
Good enough for him, good enough for me. Of the seven appraisers on the AL appraisal board, six have an active brokers license. Apparently, it can and is done.
