AMC hires Convicted Felon as Property Data Collector

[Surf Cat]

He performed significant work that was the basis of the development of an appraisal report. In NC I’m required to supervise that person.

Lol...Okaaayyyy Rules, laws, regs will be re-written to get out of that snafu. The change to the industry is in motion....

No he didn't. And that's all he did then he still wouldn't be able to get experience credit from the state for it, either. He didn't research any part of the subjects other attributes, he didn't perform any sort of market analysis, he didn't research any comps, he didn't drive any comps, didn't make any adjustments, didn't reconcile anything or write anything up in the appraisal report.

He didn't develop any opinions and conclusions that you could have used in your appraisal assignment. Even if he did express an opinion about the quality or condition you would still have had to develop your own opinions in order to compare this property to any of the comps (where you did exactly the same thing WRT developing your opinions and conclusions about them). Same as if you were reviewing another appraiser's work and deciding whether or not you agreed with all or part of the opinions and conclusions therein.

I know you wish it was otherwise, but it is what it is. If you ran into someone defending him who was competent they would run every one of your arguments on this directly into the dirt. You have a way stronger argument with them doing inspections without an inspection license. That argument has the benefit of at least not being based on an outright lie. His advocate wouldn't be able to rebut that allegation.

Where are you going to be when they send a RoboDog drone to the property to walk their Cubicasa app through the interior to send to their AI app that catalogs all the materials, fixtures and appliances? You won't have anyone to whom to attribute ANY opinions because machines do estimates, not opinions. That state doesn't license automated pool cleaners or self diving vacuums or lawnmowers, and they won't be licensing RoboPDC, either.

It’s ok to admit you’re wrong. Some consider it an admirable trait. I don’t think there’s any appraiser who takes his job seriously and values their license that would think the work done at an appraisal inspection is insignificant.

I realize you and others are told what to say

Why don't we have something similar to PDCs for our medical system. Some random can check your vitals and report it to a management company that sends it to a doctor. Technically the random person wasn't doing medical work, but that was the purpose of it, so the doctor can diagnos.

Because appraisers are toast now....

Doctors will be toast at a later date....

And I'm sure the Robodog has a highly developed sense of smell to detect the mildew/mold smell emanating from a leaking sump pump closet like I smelled before I got to the source in the snazzy finished basement I did yesterday.

I'm guessing yes.

When the property inspector gets slapped for the errant sketch showing a multi family property that was in fact a single family residence, should there be some mitigation because a measuring wheel was used that could not get within 15 feet of the structure due to shrubs and those shirt-ripping roses?
