Standard 3 - if you're doing this as a trainee with a supervisory appraiser, you should be able to get credit for those hours. At least you can in Texas.
They probably aren't allowed to take in outside work.
In our state SR3 hours only count after the appraiser has accumulated 400 hours of real appraisals.
I don't blame the OP personally, I just don't like my work reviewed by someone without experience completing appraisals. The issue I have is the AMC which I assume cheapened out by paying less to someone without experience and/or someone they felt they could manipulate better. The experience is helpful, there may be things you have to unlearn.
I guess for me, it depends on what level of review they are performing. If it's a checklist review, where they are checking off a list to ensure the appraisal has all the required documentation, I could care less whether it's a human or a computer reviewing my work. If it's a review of my methodologies, comp selection, analysis, opinions and conclusions, I fully agree - it should be a credentialed appraiser performing that level of review.
Thank you, sir. 100% agree. I've entered into the industry in a different fashion than the majority, which naturally concerns people. But I have supervisors even on the review side (that's at least how I see it) and I've learned tons.
What you have learned "reviewing" reports might not apply to the real world of appraising at all. Most AMC people who "review" are looking for AMC requirements or lender requirements and not looking at USPAP adherence. They are not looking at comp selection or adjustments and if they are realistic.
