AQB Update On Proposed Changes To Appraiser Qualifications

[Eli]

A half truth is a half lie.

That was 2005 when we had the big tiff over the forms.

I believe the 99 issue was over the certification, not .23 but over a minor difference in the wording from the required USPAP cert

More and more it seems like an argument between those who feel privileged/entitled and those who made their own way (college or not).

There are people who have always been self educating, with college giving them a boost and there are people who think simply getting a random degree puts them at par with the former.

A poster said that appraisers should be in large firms.
Not sure why a residential appraiser would want a staff position or even a fee split position inside a large firm. It seems like those who seek these positions are unable to secure their own work.

At the risk of being considered a badger or being obtuse, Lol

What do you do dog?

Don't take it personal. I ask the same type questions everyday in my job like,

Is there anything unusual about this transaction? If I don't get much of a response like the owner had 3 houses and needed to sell one, I will sometimes add something like this transaction seems a little off based on market data.

I'm digging for motivations is what I am doing, which is part of developing an opinion of market value.

Ken, If I knew what you do for a living, I could respond better to your posts.

How about you frame your question in terms of a complete thought so we can understand what you're talking about?

never going to happen. he would need the ability to form complete thoughts first.

 

[Eli]

Some people divert well. The question still stands.

 

[Eli]

I don't care what you care about, it is really a non issue for me.

I will exercise as much anonymity as the owner of the forum will allow me.

I understand your reply to Timd. I hope you are pushing for professionalism and public trust. Curiosity killed the cat.

Go away now. Above grade basements , what a joke. Why don't you blow Denis a big kiss too.

What makes was look bad are the rule makers.

We have above grade basements here.

The house is wood frame, the basement is concrete.

The basement is the space between the foundation walls (Marshall and Swift)



This is the above grade basement in an area with a high water table.

And we have them in areas with minimual depth to bedroock.

Pity,

The diversity of construction on questionable land results in a collage of design and considerations concerning what is "comparable" or warranting an adjustment.

Food for thought for the hungry

Pity,

I don't miss 'em... We have plenty of "eclectic" designs...also POS houses.
