Call to action for NC Appraisers

Maybe RSDS is a moral and ethical appraisal mill.
5/3/2024 3:14 PM Electronically Filed:

Hillsborough County/13th Judicial Circuit Page 5 25. RSDS's activity, policy or practice of utilizing Smart Assign technology to
automatically force an assigned appraiser to, and instructing appraisers to, "accept" and
agree to perform an assignment even before the appraiser is able to look at the assignment or determine whether he or she is competent to perform the assignment (and RSDS' s
instructions to its appraisers to accept the assignments as required by the Smart Assign
technology), is a violation of the laws, rules and regulations set forth in this section of the
Complaint.

How did the current system fail? It’s the market that isn’t bringing new appraisers in. It has nothing to do with the licensing requirements . Nobody wants to work for nationwide appraisal Mills, and AMC’s who have turned into appraisal mills.

Snake oil scumbags will always reap what they sell in the long run.

Maybe RSDS is a moral and ethical appraisal mill. But if they are, they’d be the first one ever.
There's always a first so let's give them the benefit of doubt until proven otherwise.
 
In law there is a term call privity. Look it up.
 
Maybe, all I’ve seen is RSDS trying to hire trainees, or get their folks trainee licenses, and then send them out as runners all over the country. But maybe they are hiring local certified appraisers, pushing back on their clients for a reasonable fee and paying their staff guy six figures. If they are then I’ll take back my criticism.

I’ve just seen how the large appraisal mills operate over the last 25 years and it’s unsustainable. It’s constant turnover with low fees and no independence.

dont forget about the largest appraisal firm ever...the gse's :rof:
 
The North Carolina Appraisal Board (Board) is aware of an appraisal management company operating in the state of North Carolina without first obtaining registration. As of today, Tamarisk Appraisals remains an unregistered appraisal management company. The Board has been in communications with Tamarisk Appraisals to halt all appraisal management services in North Carolina until such time as they are able to obtain a valid, active registration. Until Tamarisk Appraisals obtains registration as an Appraisal Management Company in North Carolina, which can be verified at: https://ncappraisalboard.org/directory/FindAMC.htm, appraisers are encouraged to contact the Board office upon any panel solicitations, order requests, or other appraisal management service request from Tamarisk Appraisals.
 
If the appraisers doing them are licensed in the State the property's located in that seems like a positive not a negative. A registered AMC just pays a fee to a state it doesn't do anything of value for that State's appraisers. I wouldn't care if the clients operated out of Canada as long as they paid good fees on time.
