I'm just shocked that the most experienced and profitable appraisers were doing hybrids of duplexes for Clear Capital for $25 for two values (two appraisals). So $12.50 an appraisal.They were one of 10 or so vendors in the pilot we ran for 7+ years, but that pilot is over now. They are currently an approved PDC vendor along with 66 other vendors.
Typically the most experienced and knowledgeable appraisers who appreciate the efficiency and profitability of hybrid appraisal assignments....I believe Lyle Radke or someone from Fannie Mae said this. I guess I'm just not efficient enough to slam out USPAP compliant appraisal reports for $12.50 a piece. I guess those that can must be making big bucks. Knock those out in 1 minute (rubber stamp signature) and maybe you can make money. Is this what FNMA is advocating by partnering with them?
I'd love to meet one of these elite appraisers making all of this money, laying on the beech applying their signature to tens of thousands of reports, maybe they can even hire someone to attach their signature for them to whatever Clear Capital gives them to sign, because there is no way an appraiser is doing appraisals for $12.50 a piece, having competency in a dozen states or more.
Is FNMA going to partner with Sam Bankman-Fried next? Maybe you can partner with Jordan Belfort.
