AQB Update On Proposed Changes To Appraiser Qualifications

[Ken Masla]

I am here because I am a appraiser. So you are not here for the same reasons as me. The outcome of this topic does not impact anybody posting in this thread more than me.

So the outcome of this topic doesn't impact the public?

So you're throwing the public trust thing out the window. Interesting, but I have to appreciate the honesty.

The label "commercial" as it pertains to licensing is one of my pet peeves. There is no commercial license. Excluding trainees, there are two credentials that have restricted practice, and one credential that has unrestricted practice. There are many properties that are residential in nature that cannot be appraised by residential appraisers; e.g., residential subdivisions with 5+ lots, proposed condominium complexes, apartment buildings with 5+ lots, residential lots with no development rights, etc.

Not a appraiser but nothing better to do than hand out in a appraiser forum. What a loser.

Implies no reason to complain, right?

Nope.

Do you fill out a complaint form along with the appropriate supporting evidence and send it to the state each time you come across a bad report?

Not only do most people no send complaints to the state, most people don't even know where to begin to file a complaint.

The degree requirement is not about supply and demand. It is not about fees. It is not about what is necessary to be a competent appraiser. It is about public trust. You are focused on the wrong things.

The old post below is flawed in what a CG should do, implying every CG should be capable of valuing any and every property type regardless?? Specialist appraisers should stick to what they know. I consider myself "agri" or "resource" and even as a transitional licensee 70% or my work was "non-residential" and I'll be danged if the state reviewer didn't criticize me for "too much commercial" experience on my log when I applied for CR.

Violating USPAP is an explicit act. 60% of complaints in my state do not get past first base. So? What I think is "bad", is it? In my state submission for CG, I was told one report did not conform to USPAP because I mentioned the word "limited" (supposedly a no-no in 94 for bank lending when the report was written) but that was a reference to the limited number of comps available in the market area, not the report being "limited". My super was livid and wanted to confront the board over it, but I submitted another example and passed.

most people don't even know where to begin to file a complaint.

If that stupid, are you sure they were bright enough to be reviwing reports?

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.

You know,

Up until this point, there was some underlying style in your posts that seemed familiar, yet I could not place it.

But with this one, I'm wondering about the appraiser, who's name can not be uttered on this forum anymore.

The one with the Wiley Coyote avatar.

Where's BB and CAN to confirm this suspicion?

USPAP has a code of ethics, not a code of morals.

USPAP has a code of ethics, not a code of morals.

So what?

Religion has a code of morals.

Lawyers have a code of ethics.

What difference do either make, when the individual is not motivated to understand right from wrong and to resist tempation all by themselves?

Do you think college teaches any of that to anyone?

Wave a beer in front of you to see how long you can resist sipping it?

I got a PhD in that one.

"Acceptability Ethics are governed by professional and legal guidelines within a particular time and place Morality transcends cultural norms"

From the above. A set of professional ethics can be learned. A person can be an amoral SOB in their personal life, but if they follow the USAP code of ethics, they have not violated it. And vice versa. A moral person otherwise, who makes a material
USPAP violation can violate the ethics code. Thus you can teach ethics ( as they do in USPAP ) and applied reasoning can help solve an ethical dilemma in a professional situation.
