Just found out today that our biggest MLS system is no longer sharing information with another MLS system. I also found out the the system that I ALSO must sign up for is $350.00 srat up and $91.00 a month for an appraiser. I can not do appraisal now in the area that this MLS covers until I can get onto it and they know this.
Once again parts of the real estate industry is raising their fees and we are still making what we were years ago. I have only been in the business since 1997, but the fees are the same.
I am so sick and tired of having to shell out more and more money to try and I mean try to keep up with the prices that with have to pay to keep up with the times. Well I hope that appraisers in The detroit area read this and give me some feed back. If you do appraisals in the Tri-county area (Oakland, Macomb, and Wayne) you now have to have 3 different MLS systems to complete an appraisal. 3 different MLS's for 3 different counties. I do not know how long I will be able to keep up with everything and still be able to make a profit.
Happy appraising
