Danny Featured On Phil Crawford's Show

[Terrel L. Shields]

Funny... Tim always defends the AMC viewpoint and is one of only a few CR posters who doesn't actual work for the scumbags...hmmm. maybe there is a correlation?

 

[Mr Rex]

That Crawford fella ought to hook up with Joan T, can you imagine all the good they could do for appraisers if they worked together...

I am not defending anyone's point of view here. Phil falsely accused Danny's company of participating in the Fannie Mae bifurcated appraisal program pilot and I am just commenting on that what Phil stated is false and I am providing my commentary regarding what Phil's show is about (IMO). I get what Phil is doing...he has built a nice little side business funded by advertisers telling a certain segment of the population what they want to hear...that is no different than what Rush Limbaugh does, what CNN does, what Fox News does what MSNBC does, etc. I am just calling it how I see it and I don't personally any feelings towards Phil as a person or as an appraiser one way or another.

By the way, I don't care one way or another about AMC's. I am only interested whether or not we receive acceptable appraisals and I believe that some AMC's do a good job of managing appraisers and providing good appraisals while others do a horrible job, which is no different than lenders who manage their own appraisal panel. The day that someone can provide objective proof that AMC appraisals are of overall lower quality than non-AMC appraisals and/or loans with AMC appraisals default at a higher rate and/or have default severity that is overall worse than loans with non-AMC appraisals, I will have no issue with calling for the elimination of AMC's or for the adoption of more strict AMC regulations.

Phil didn't quite say that...you didn't listen did you? The AMC discussion on Twitter, Danny tweeted that FM field testing in 'limited market' so I assume DW has heard something, right?

Yes, I have listened to the relevant portion of the podcast.

Terrel, I really want to know do you beat your wife or your ex-wife? Terrel tweeted about people beating their wives. I have heard that other guys like Terrel beat their wives. I really want to know, maybe other people out there can ask Terrel if he beats his wife or ex-wife, maybe someone can ask him what he and his ex-wife are up to these days and whether he is beating her.

See, what I did there?...I never did accuse you of beating your wife or ex-wife, did I?

Obviously my questions are not meant to be serious....however, that is basically what Phil did on his podcast, just substitute "Danny" for "Terrel" and SL testing bifurcated appraisals at Fannie's behest for beating your wife and then pretend that you don't know where to find Danny to get a comment from him.

Well, that is/was not quite the same assumption that Phil made now, is it? But I don't want to accuse anyone of being an apologist People are free to listen for themselves and decide for themselves what Phil was asserting/alleging.

Again, my big question is this - Given that Phil himself recommended contacting me for a statement, why did he not do that? I have certainly gotten calls like that in the past from folks who were about to "run with a story."

unfounded conspiracies everywhere.

That line is getting pretty redundant, ain't it.

Usually when there is smoke there is fire.

Well, in this case, Dr. Phil could have learned the actual story by either (1) simply reading posts on this very forum, or (2) contacting me. He apparently did not do the first and I know he did not do the second. The epitome of professional journalism?

There is smoke all right, and its being blown right up a certain orifice.

Not to worry. Given the "pro" that he is I feel certain there will be a retraction/correction/apology

It is ok General Dan. Take a deep breath. And remember revaa is backing you up all the way.
