Florida State Test Question

[The Warrior Monk]

In your state. Not in my states I work.

Joyce is specifically discussing the question in the context of FL regulations, and FL is a mandatory licensing state. Your state is only mandatory for FRTs.

The Judge can do whatever they want. They are the law.

Judges cheat, lie, steal, misapply laws, and circumvent the constitution all the time.

Cert/Licensing exams assume ethical behavior unless otherwise noted.

That is completely false if it is contrary to law, notably in a cut and dry case like this. We are a nation of laws, not lawbreakers. What is happening in this discussion is that situations involving areas of law that are open to interpretation are being conflated with those situations where it is cut and dry, like this situation.

Joyce is specifically discussing the question in the context of FL regulations, and FL is a mandatory licensing state. Your state is only mandatory for FRTs.

In all of my answers, they are based on a logic and reasoning spelled out in the question itself. Yours are based on assumptions not even hinted at that are contrary to law and regulations.

The answer is

B - Not be compensated for the appraisal unless licensed or certified.

Since that is the only answer that is true under FL state law.

David, your bias is beyond help. To arbitrarily extract from the test question that the judge or court is acting unlawfully or unethically is quite a leap.

It’s a bad question. Please send it to FL and tell them. I mean it. I hope that 1 question didn’t fail somebody.

Don't see a big issue- Personally I would choose "D" and if I was an-appraiser in Florida I could care less if some Judge or court appointed an-unlicensed appraiser. The question on the State test may be a trick to see how the new appraiser is going to respond to authority.

David, your bias is beyond help.

Q: May a unlicensed individual appraise real property in the State of Florida?

A: No.

Q: May an unlicensed individual receive compensation for services that require a license in the State of Florida?

A: No.

Where is the bias? It's all facts.

"D" cannot be the answer under any circumstances, in the context of FL state law.

To arbitrarily extract from the test question that the judge or court is acting unlawfully or unethically is quite a leap.

The whole judge issue is extraneous information in the question.

 

[The Warrior Monk]

The question on the State test may be a trick to see how the new appraiser is going to respond to authority.

The issue is that the authority is the law itself. Way too many people think that what a judge says, goes. That is erroneous, and irrelevant to the question. There is no court order, the unlicensed individual does not have to agree to be appointed, and makes a conscience decision to perform the unlicensed decision, contrary to law.

I recommend that those that question this review the basics of governmental structures, and the powers and duties of each branch. Seriously, I learned this is 7th grade (supplemented by a social studies teacher that was also and attorney in 12th grade).

Why isn't the answer "D"?
