No College Degree for Cert Generals or Residential Appraisers

[Carnivore]

WOW this has been a very interesting Topic,
1, 4yrCollege Degree Liberal Arts Lesbian Underwater basket weaving
2. 4yrCollege Degree BS Science Heavy on advanced math
3. 2 year College Degree what ever but some are arts and some are math
4. Some College mix of math or arts
4. High School Graduate Depends on individual based on aptitude test so you might be science or arts
4. High School Dropout - Trade School Specialized electrician, plumber etc
5. High School Dropout - Burger flipper manual labor types

So you see the issue they were facing. College can be done on line. So that's not a barrier . But their is a barrier possibly because you may have semester hours that may or may not be accepted from one college to the other. Case in point the military kind of solved that problem. They have agreements with colleges where they are required to accept those transfer credit hours.

So was this a actual Degree program or was it a mixture of of just certain college classes? If it is a mixture then that would be a real problem because many colleges won't let you piecemeal classes . No they would require it to be some sort of degree path that they have. Where am I wrong?

VA does not require college degree but the fee disclosed to the veteran is the appraisal fee. VA needed no bailout just like many independent banks that don't use appraisal management companies.

I understand originally, it was intended to increase professionalism. Tell me if my X-girlfriend is involved on trying to eliminate college degree to benefit her constituents (appraisal managment companies).

It's all politics and money. Look at who sits on both boards now and take a look at who was at the table when the degree requirements were passed. That's all boots on the ground appraisers need to know.

Of course using an AMC is more efficent for a lender. They should pay for the AMC service it.

The appraiser loses out with the so-called efficiency - it is the same amount of effort to apply to an AMC as it is to apply for a lender panel. Collection: The days of deadbeat mortgage brokers are gone. r. Direct lender clients deposit into the appraiser's account like clockwork. The frequent posts here warning about being stiffed all refer to deadbeat AMC's not paying.

By having large portions of the appraisal fee go to a third party, the appraiser is subsidizing the AMC's efficiency to the lender.

I think you're still conflating my reference to efficient vs inefficient marketplace with the AMC function itself, who pays for what. I keep trying to make the distinction between the two but so far my effort has come up short.

A tech-enabled stock market is a more efficient way to handle a large number of transactions involving corn or apples than a less efficient marketplace where the grower sells their apples in the smaller volumes at a stall at a Farmer's Market. A more efficient marketplace means more volume/less effort WRT the number of apples-per-transaction.

Back before the internet I used to print/bind 3 copies of my reports and deliver by hand to my clients. That was less efficient than me printing out zero hardcopies for my clients and submitting a PDF. But moving away from less efficient to more efficient comes at it's own costs. I'm losing the human connection where I was physically interacting with these individuals in person. These days I very rarely ever meet them. All they're seeing is the workproduct, not the charming and charismatic (or toxic) merchant operating in marketing mode.

If we think about it, that "reduced personal factor" can be characterized as either a good thing given the nature of the services we sell or that can be a bad thing.

Driver licenses expire. And at the nominal licensing fees they charge it's not because of the money.

as well they have to take CE in many states. In Virginia their CE is the honor system. They only have to provide evidence they have taken the necessary CE if requested by some entity. Most likely only if they were involved in a lawsuit or accused of malpractice. They are trusted but appraisers are not.....at least in VA.
