I didn’t write it. But I’ll pass that along.

Can't imagine any appraiser not supporting this. Glad to see so many of us are involved.

Everybody,
Please look at this website:

Notice this:


Know that Corelogic bought Case-Shiller in 2013 and is now being used by the FED.
CoreLogic acquires Case-Shiller from Fiserv - Reuters


Then scroll down to the chart title


Look how the numbers differ.

Consider very deeply signing the petition.

All three of the charts in the link are telling the same story.

I wouldn't sign it. I seem to recall past petitions, ideas of unions for appraisers etc... Provided HVCC as an answer and created the AMC industry.

Stuff like this isn't new. For decades lenders have implemented ways to avoid appraisals and then they suffer the consequences and go back to requiring appraisals.

My cog in the machine is to complete appraisal assignments, not to protect others from making bad decisions.

I am not a big fan of trying to protect an industry through regulation. Much of my work is from investors and property owners who want a credible opinion of value to make a financial decision. Nobody is requiring them to get an appraisal.

Maybe instead of focusing on regulating that an appraisal is required we should focus on why these clients don't place value on the service we provide.

BTW... Why is the petition blaming Trump for this?

 

[Joe Flacco]

100% correct. Users need to choose appraisals over alternatives.

That your data is now being used and published by the Fed Board under the case-shiller name?
