How Appraisal Regulation Failed

[Zoe]

She has probably figured out a way to monetize it

Her suggestion was cost/plus which would have had an impact but not the same impact as separation of fees on truth in lending disclosures. She knows that.

I give her credit for knowing commingling of fees is wrong.

I tried and tried to convince her to help. She is pretty and has a bunch of money and influence. She wouldn't help on separation of fees on truth in lending disclosures.

I can see where she would have made many enemies if she would have fought for separation of fees on truth in lending disclosures. Maybe she don't like enemies.

Maybe she has a soft side to her that is scared.

Many people don't know Joan Trice was certified residential appraiser. I think she probably still owns the certification. It is pocket change for her to keep it.

The woman is very rich.

Wealth and rich are different animals. Joan has to lay down at night knowing she could have fought for separation of fees on truth in lending disclosures.

She already knows commingling of fees is wrong. She has to sleep with that.

Joan Trice is possibly the most influential rich person in appraisal world today. I was just trying to steer the lady in right direction. Money was talking.

Joan said "money" or "Eli"

I'll take money route.

I'll give Eli a cracker and push for cost plus model.

I hear you. I tried to get her to play cards. I know lobbyist are the biggest players. Don't rub it in.

Owners of AMCs are the biggest players that lobbied Congress to keep separation of fees on truth in lending disclosures FROM Happening. .

Joan just played the game.

I think the woman had pull and still does. I just don't know anymore unless FTC gets involved on separation of fees.

 

[Zoe]

Keep this in mind. State business tax is involved in the big picture.

 

[Zoe]

When you look at state business tax, it sheds a different light where State Government could overrule.

I don't care. Me and Joan Trice agree commingling of fees are wrong.

I think chances of her making a change are like snowballs chance in Hell.

 

[Zoe]

Why in the world would I care about separation of fees and public trust?

Be careful. You have the right to remain silent.
