This is probably none of my concern but.

Just what we need, another unsupervised trainee who
will learn that appraising is about skirting the rules.

1. they are stealing business from you.

2. The licensee is violating the law. If you dont turn them in you are an accomplice or complicit in bank and wire fraud. You have a moral/ethical responsibility to report crime.

3. If this appraisal was completed for a state bank, then the crime is particularly aggregious.

finally,

4. All you can do is bring it to the authorities attention. This way they can not be in denial.

Shine the light on the cockroaches!!!

Caitlyn,

Please send your contact information to me and I'll see if there is anything I can do to help push authorities into doing something about this.

An appraiser in another part of the state is running a satelite office in my area. Under normal circumstances this would not be a concern except the individual that is doing the inspections in my area is not a licensed appraiser but is portraying his/her self to be another individual.

Should this be brought to the attention of someone or just ignor what I know?

I don't know much about the appraisal regulations in PA but I know that portraying one's self as another person is "misrepresentation" at the very least and certainly points toward a likely fraud.

Get your facts absolutely straight and report it to everybody you can - maybe, just maybe, one of 'em will pay attention.

Is it possible the father is a registered trainee with some experience under his belt? Did the son sign that he had actually inspected the property when he had not?

After I had been a trainee for a while, my mentor felt confident that I was competent to inspect on my own. However, she would never, under no circumstances, certify she had inspected a property if she hadn't.
