New BPO CMA Bill VETOED

Appraisers need to stop putting so much time and effort into preventing other people from working. The free market helps everyone. It was the trade groups that caused the mass exodus from Europe in the 19th and 20th century.

Apparently you do not understand the problem. BPO's are being used as a substitute for appraisals. I provided a visual aid during my testimony before the state senate committee.
I took a popular BPO form and an appraisal form and erased the titles, most people could not tell the difference between the appraisal form and the BPO form.

I would encourage anyone who has submitted a complaint about unlicensed people completing BPO's to attend an Appraisal Commission meeting in Newark and demand a report on the status of the complaint.
 
From LinkedIn; This guy lives in India and does BPOs. I don't know if he has even been to the US but he selects comps, etc.

Oh man this is beautiful. I bet the lenders had no idea this was happening. LOL
He's estimating repairs as well. Too much

Yet another very sad commentary on the state of the business.
Truly pathetic.
