AQB's latest dumbing down by 'Stakeholders' Dropping the College Degree Requirement

[Surf Cat]

My point being that performance counts, and the main reason we're losing business to the machine is because we aren't demonstrating enough of an improvement in results over the machine to justify the additional expense and hassle of dealing with us.

It circles back around to the fast and cheap. You're not going to get a thorough analysis for $225 bucks from an AMC. The educated, highly competent, experienced appraiser, will not take that fee.

Thus, our profession is being judged by the first five comps in Realist going fast and cheap. A runner will measure, photograph the house and the comps, hand it off to the writer, whom hands it off to the signer. Shake and Bake.

OR, you get the Newbie Certified Appraiser who hasn't spent a lot of time with their mentor and or fee shop taking on assignments way over their head. There's been a couple posts here lately where I'm looking at the questions going, ooohhh boy.

I still bounce questions off the mentors that I had from 10, 15 years ago on complex assignments. The way we were brought up and taught is gone since the hvcc.

I don't need the drama.

Give me your list of parties involved in this.

Jesus Christ Zoe! You're churning out posts like a Skippy churns out appraisals!

They may not always be respected but they are very well paid.

Yes, too many apparisers lakced professional ethcis but the field never required college from day one so it let people in that never should have been in a profession with that much at stake, in any capacity and then they trained others.

Wrt the attorneys the stereotype about crooked lawyers is false, most of them are honest, but the legal system itself is complex and can be manipulated - justice and what is legal is not always one and the same and the system allows the corrupt and guilty to get off with a reversal of appeal or on a technicality.

wrt appraising, if the private sector and commercial are still healthy but teh res side of lending is mostly affected, that is about profiteering more than a "machine."- on what planet is the new idea of allowing nonappraisers to inpsect for a CDC a machine?

Appraising worked well for decades, but with it allowed to be an unbiased and not influenced opinion, it needs support, and that support is being systemically withdrawn on the res side.

Public perception occurs in the eyes of... the public. The perception is literally the thing.

Look at our own PR drama. These allegations of appraiser racism and misconduct are wholly unrelated to the education or the qualifications of any of those individuals. Nobody thinks the solution includes increasing academic or technical training. The allegations are about ethical misconduct; about appraisers allegedly not adhering to the role of D3P and not refraining from violating the existing prohibitions against the use of personal bias in their professional work. It is the allegation of ethical misconduct on the nationwide basis that has resulted in everyone being required to go through the proscribed cultural re-education camps.

It’s really simple, if you are any profession and don’t want to keep a high standard of entry, then you have an agenda you’re pushing. And it’s usually a financial one. also can be described as a sellout.

I don't know why you're whining about professionalism when your real complaint is about the money. Have you ever considered making an argument in good faith based on some reasoning?

I taught the professional standards and other courses for 16 years, and have done similarly on this forum (for free) for longer than that. That's my agenda. OTOH, you have been complaining about the money so that's obviously your sole agenda because you certainly never add anything of substance to any other discussion.

AQB is just bottom feeding for the public trust...

Actually, you’re not far off. I’m sure pretty soon There will be a new definition of the word public.
