Appraisal Institute Controversy

[Mejappz]

She and the interim CEO met with staff in Chicago, everyone is happy that the Face Value podcast and the 1st and 3rd Thursday webinars will continue. Apparently, the staff was really worried about that and is overjoyed with the news.

And please be assured the board takes its fiduciary and ethical obligations very seriously, so as a matter of best practice and for legal reasons they can't comment on the secret meeting with a secret vote because everything that happened is a secret and will remain a secret. In addition, don't believe the rumors of board members owning or operating AMCs, although benefitting from being involved in AMCs is still unclear or as the board calls it, a rumor.

Yep, that's the pressing issue facing the industry. This show is almost as bad as the TAFs "Appraisal Talk" which is by far the worst.

I was associate member. They said all you need now is demonstration report. Both MAIs said that will be no problem for you.

But I had heard too much behind closed doors from both of them. They were willing to help me on demo report knowing it would not be a problem.

It was behind closed door conversations that convinced me otherwise.

I have to question why you still belong? Like a million others, I had passed all the coursework and work experience. By the time I finished my demo I was told the classes I passed were expired and would have to sit for the exams again. No thanks, joined the NAIFA. Didn't take them long to waste their money on trips and gifts to the hierarchy, guess they started a trenc. But after licensing/certification having an SRA didn't mean much with lenders. And after the AMC Takeover it was worth even less.

I would guess the MAIs will do whatever they can to keep the AI solvent. And the SRAs will tell them to go fish.

I don't belong to AI. I did belong from 2007 to 2015, when I was an MAI "candidate for designation". They did the exact same thing to me (and several others) that they did to you, but I was already a designated member of NAIFA, earned the CAE through IAAO, NAiFA merged with ASA. I had to take another comprehensive test and submitted my commercial and residential demos for my ASA. I have one ASA for Real Property and 1 for Mass Appraisal.

Yes, I never got why everyone was so afraid of the demo. All I did was narratives for years. But now there's all these other options depending on who you are or who you know. In my case my commercial mentor died (he was 95) and they expected me to submit copies of reports I was to get from his estate, because by then I was working for the Assessor in addition to changing up all the classes. You were smart not to fall for it.

There's nothing new or secret about the way the AI has treated their residential members. Nor am I trying to tell anyone what to think.

An SRA is the president of AI.

An SRA is the president of AI.

She was a plant by the evil MAIs.

I've been a candidate for years, had no idea this existed.

Edit: Oh my. Mentioning this endeavor as a priority at national is more proof that national as a whole is out of touch. Freaking wow.

That was unwatchable from the public domain 70s **** music on. When she started talking, I had immediately had to close the video. I do think Phil and Hamp deserve Emmys now.
