Qualifications /Resume/ Experience page

I only provide a copy of my resume when it is requested. It's like going to court. Don't elaborate on an answer. Just answer the question and shut up.

I agree. The report should be about the property you appraised, not the qualifications of the appraiser. That should have been determined before you accepted the assignment.
 
My resume is called:

Qualifications of the Appraiser

and it is 3 legal pages...two pages containing Appraisal and Real Estate Designations, Appraisal and Real Estate Educational Qualifications, Continuing Education Seminars, Appraisal and Real Estate Licenses, and Appraisal and Real Estate Memberships. The third page is a list of clients.

I stopped including it in appraisal reports years ago but make it available to anyone who wants it. My reports are presently 22 to 26 pages and typically 1.5 megs when sent electronically which is large enough. Recently received an email from LSI wanting appraisers to cut down file sizes they transmit to them.

Good Lord Mike. What in the world are you including in all those pages? Mine usually run less than 15 pages, depending on interior photos, scanned page of my license, etc.

Agreed. The quality of the report typically manifest the qualifications of the appraiser.

Of course the appraisal should be about the property we're appraising. What in the world is wrong with communicating to the client the appraiser's qualifications? Absolutely nothing. I can only hope everyone's qualification page does exactly that--lend additional credibility. I can assure you that when someone is reviewing that report, and they're somewhat skeptical, they most certainly look at the qual page. I know I do.

That said, that may not be quite fair to those who either haven't been appraising very long and don't have a qualifications sheet that says much. After all, none us STARTED OUT with the experience level we have today.

It comes with practice, time and commitment.
 
....sounds like a worthwhile addition.........I always felt the real work application process should include more than a copy of your license and three appraisals.....and I considered the legitimate lenders should have a resume and credit report added to all applications for work referrals with regular updates............best to all.............rs
 
What is wrong with providing a license with each appraisal? Doesn't the state decide what our qualifications are? Didn't we all work hard to meet state requirements?

If a bank wants my resume, they can send me an application for employment with an explanation of the position they would like me to fill, along with the salary offer for this position. Sending an appraisal to a lender, sideways (via broker), does not constitute me asking the lender for a position with their firm.
 
......at the racetrack the informed will have access to a "sheet" which details prior race history performances......doctors hang their diplomas for public viewing.......individuals use sports teams' statistics and records to establish victory chances for the next contest.......our local appraiser pool is divided into two general parts: 1) the primarily just licensed or 2) the formally educated, experienced,
attendees of quality contuing ed programs, and some affiliated with national associations......in the near past when "new" mortgage lenders came to town which group ended up with their business?........one group cannot or will not be "number hitters"...........and please have not a misunderstanding, I donot feel that society's labels are substitutes for virtue, diligence or capabilities, like the cost of color for lips and feet of a pig determining its bacon........and there is an exception of one who has all the labels and "papers" who is a virtual employee of a major real estate company including renting office space next to the loan broker who occupies the same building.......nothing is true all the time.......the existance is difficult for all and such is is........rs
