Appraisal Institute Controversy Part 2

[Flakey]

If you want to be an appraiser for GSE appraisals - that is low ****. HS degree will work fine, provided you have the credentials and can follow GSE guidelines good enough for the AMCs. It is an average IQ job.

This qualifies you for my distinguished ignore panel.

The same old turkey gobbledygook.

If you have gone to Appraiser conferences year after year for 20+ years, to at least get some idea of where the profession stands ....

... and you look back on it ....

... do you ever get the impression ...

... that it is starting to sound like ...

... even mimic ....

... turkey gobbledygoodk ???

Full service appraisal firms, like mine in rural Tennessee, cannot just ignore certain sects of business. But we are not the cheapest date nor do we attempt to undercut everybody in the country with our fees. Competitive for all, yes. We quote every assignment after a little research, unless the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

It’s humorous, but I’ve received non-solicited advice from many of our peers to refuse assignments for GSEs, AMCs, Divorce proceedings, etc. Not sure how a multi-member professional firm would survive in this state without taking the risks associated with the profession. We are not urban enough to pick and choose I suppose.
