Phil Crawford Podcast

Also, the allegation which he keeps repeating is that I doxxed his address and his family. IIRC he was previously talking about his wife and kids.

View attachment 95130

Since he has alleged it, I have been asking if anyone knows if his property is anywhere on that map; and to date nobody seems to know. I still don't know what property on that map, if any, belongs to him.

Now he's pivoting to the "doxxing" the property in question and citing the Confidentality section of the ETHICS RULE, which applies when an appraiser is acting as an appraiser (not an opinion-pundit in a podcast or on a forum) in conjunction with their workproduct in an assignment. (which, if there's no client then there's no assignment). Moreover, the concept of confidentiality applies to information that is not available outside of the appraiser's work, not public record info or MLS listing info that Zillow picks up. Information isn't automatically a secret just because an appraiser is using it. That's basic, so I don't even understand why he would attempt to run that line by appraisers who have been instructed otherwise over the years.

Now I've lost track of how many properties which have been involved in various controversies that we have picked up on this forum and looked deeper into those situations to see what there is to see. AFAICT there's nothing special about this example compared to those, and I don't see what reasoning it would take to square that particular pretzel logic.

Lastly, he's apparently been at this podcast thing and selling stuff to appraisers for many years. (which I do neither). I don't know what the ROI is on whatever time/effort he's putting into producing a 30-min podcast, but I *assume* his primary motivation for doing so isn't the $15.95 that Youtube is going to pay him for 800 views on that last one. My guess is that he's doing it for love of the game, so to speak; and not for the $15.95. He's advocating what he thinks and what he believes. Same as everyone on this forum does. That's a sentiment I can understand quite well. I just wish he was logical enough to recognize the same when other people do it. I've been running my mouth on this forum - for free - since before he took his first Appraisal 101 course down at the mall.
Agreed and glad you have been (running you mouth) I would extend thanks for all your input over the years. I believe everyone can learn something over time, and that is why I started here so many years ago. Input from so many participants nationwide, always results in a hidden gem somewhere along the line.
Thank You, George and all other participants

The more one protests the more research that some will do. This information took me less than two minutes to find.

Several times in the original podcast Phil stated that these appraisal waivers were "right in his backyard". Well Phil must of purchased a great deal of property and removed a lot of homes, because based on a quick GIS search the subdivision mentioned in the podcast and highlighted in George's research is ONE MILE as the crow flies to the northeast of his home, and probably closer to ONE AND A HALF MILES by road. My distance measurement is a straight line from his home to the middle of the indicated lake.

Phil, I haven't outed your address or the legal name under which your property is listed or for even for that matter the name of the lake nearest the comparables, your community, your County or your State.
 
For better or worse, everyone here already has an opinion of what I am, and that includes the 3 members here who have repeatedly accused me - on the fact-free basis - of being a paid shill for the GSEs. A certain percentage of his viewers have previously participated here; so they know, too.

The only way my views on this get any more attention from people outside of this forum is if PC keeps referring his viewers here to look for themselves. It would surprise me a fair bit if that was his intention, though.
 
What does that have to do with anything. I'm Jewish and do not have a bunch of money. What an ignorant comment. Antisemitic much????
That funny. My dad had jewish ancestors. He squeezed a penny til it squealed.
 
I have jewish ancestors. If my dad had jewish ancestors? Do the math.

In the heritage of Jewish people, they (we) keep business and personal things separate.

Business is business. Personal is personal. Two separate entities.

You can find that unacceptable to me. I don't care.

Many heritages are that way. It is not a jewish thing. Many heritages view and keep personal and business in different perspectives.

Many heritages view the two perspectives in a different light. They don't commingle personal and business.

More geniuses have come from the little country of Israel than anywhere in the world.

Anti Jew? Don't make me laugh. I can't go much deeper on my views.

I think I can get by with Jesus was born a Jew.

Now. I don't like waivers.

I have no problem expressing my views with anybody on this forum or without this forum.

My focus has been on public trust. You can like that or not. I don't care if you like it or not.

If you don't like public trust as your focus then you have a problem with me.
 
I can help your problem. I know the market I work.
