George, I anticipated your dismissing those with dual designations. Why is the dual designee's SRA worth any less than yours?
AVM's will increasingly replace residential appraisals for financing. I don't think there is any denying that. AVM's will also have an increasing place in the commercial world. However, since risk is dispersed much more in residential portfolios than in commercial, I don't think it will be used to the same extent in commercial lending.
The growth of technology is a different but related topic from professional membership. I don't dispute the fact that the designation lost its luster in the 1990's after state certification "leveled the playing field". But for reasons stated in my previous lengthy post, I believe the SRA will become more valuable if one desires (or eventually needs) to diversify and get away from financing work.
Your posts beg the question...If you are so strongly opposed to the AI, why do you still retain your designation?
