How Do You Complete 2 Or More Appraisals Per Day?

[nachocheesefries]

Hmm, I didn't mention anything at all about 60 hours a week. I apologize if orange isn't as stylish as flip flops and tees.

What are you even talking about flip flops and stylish orange on a thread about increased productivity?

All you old dogs go to the EXACT same place every time this topic comes up which is that those who work faster/smarter than you are less competent appraisers which is just not true. There is plenty of room for all of us to learn about increasing productivity. Keep your comments about going to jail to yourself...it makes you look ignorant.

I don't know why I got on here today...you people are annoying me. Back to work I go!

Incorrect...yours starts with an incorrect assumption that implies some random ding dong methodology, that you apparently made up, is being used by those who complete more appraisals than you do.

This is a thread about how to increase your productivity and you are rambling off in left field about something you have ZERO proof of and that has nothing to do with this thread. We ALL are aware of the practices of bad appraisers...that is not what this thread is about. Move along as you clearly have nothing to contribute to this topic.

Shows you don't know about what "techniques" improve "fastness" and what techniques do improve "fastness". But, my point is choosing sales which may or not be comparable, with one being high and one being low, does impact fastest and cheapest and you ignore my point. If that is what you believe then I would not hire you personally as an appraiser.

Time and skill are what improves credibility and reliability in an appraisal. Sean is a little naive, to say the least.

Time CANNOT be taken out. Let's do all three approaches if applicable on everything and see how much more credible and reliable appraisals become.

I never said said I did this nor implied that is 'what I believe'...those are your idiot words. You are making up some bogus CRAP and applying it to me and every other appraiser who works faster than you.

I could care less if you would hire me...you sound like a MO RON.

Do you work for AMC's? I don't. What is your definition of a moron exactly? Somebody who is fastest and cheapest perhaps? You would be wrong there too in many cases but fastest and cheapest is wrong too when it comes to public trust. So.....let's talk credibility and reliability as it relates to appraisals since the topic is 2 a day.

Big boy...I have been at this for almost 15 years. My mom, almost 30 as a senior review appraiser for the FEDS...which I listened closely to for 20 years a the dinner table before going off to college.

I have been fortunate enough to see more in the world of valuation that you can probably imagine. I have done little but eat, sleep and breathe this profession for the last 13 years and am very passionate about it.

Naive is one thing I am not. I could take a report home and sleep on it and message day after day hoping it increases the reliability and credibility of the report but once I am finished with it...that's the end. Dragging a project out for the sake of sipping a coffee all day in my slippers is not how I was raised. Lenders are not asking for self contained type of reporting document that you are implying and lets face it, that is not what you are doing anyway.

 

[Eli]

Let's talk recognized techniques and methods of appraisal practice and the application of all approaches to value if applicable. Let's talk about something that will improve appraisal credibility and reliability. Let's talk about appraiser selection and removal of any time guidelines by the client. The appraiser is responsible for scope of work. The lender is responsible for selecting a competent appraiser and paying them a C&R fee based on law and regulation.

Again...you are proceeding with a premise that is incorrect. Many AMC's are NOT looking for the fastest and cheapest. To imply that they are showcases your extreme ignorance on this topic. To also state "I don't work for AMC's" is arrogant and indicates to me the you are definately NOT concerned with volume. There are literally hundreds of AMC's out there that do not operate like Rels, StreetLinks, etc., that everyone on here complains about. Again, why are you posting on this thread except to try and portray a method of compelting reports that most clients would not be happy with? I would call it the SLOW and POOR methodology.

My average fee over last year on residential assignments was just shy of $400...which is high for my area. Take your CHEAP argument and cram it.
