Unintended consequence of reviews

[Sadie]

The other thing that some reviewers do is review the appraiser rather than the appraisal.

Part of the review according to Standard 3 is to Identify the work under view......including the appraiser(s) who completed the work under review, unless the identity is withheld by the client

I personally don't want to know whose report I am reviewing.

I see appraiser ID to be a non-issue because even the worst appraisers are usually not wrong. Simply knowing someone is a donkey doesn't help me discern whether or not this particular report has significant problems. And as a reviewer I'm not getting worked up over trivial problems except to take note of them.

If I can do right by a property owner who yelled at me or whose dog bit me then I can do right by an appraiser if/when I think they are a donkey.

Petition your state using their version of FOIA. Not all public actions are published to, say, the state website but it can be obtained by request.

When I was defending a complaint against me, I requested, in discovery, the number of complaints filed against sitting Board members and the dispostion of those complaints. They refused to respond and the administrative judge backed them. I know for a fact a lifetime member of the Board had a complaint dismissed with prejudice without any investigation.

I don’t know the rules in your state or about boards, but you were asking for information about the triers of fact to use in your defense. Not sure that’s a legitimate use of a FOIA request but I’m not an attorney.

Sorry to hear that. The most frustrating thing is fighting them could bankrupt you but not cost the member a single $.

If a previous complaint had been filed against you, and that complaint was dismissed with prejudice, would it be appropriate for that to be considered as part of your new case?

When I was the Chief Investigator in my state, it was common for those facing a formal hearing to file a complaint against one or more board members in the hope of excluding them from the process. Just sayin'

That seems liek a pretty shortsighted thing to do if you ask me. The complaint against you had nothing whatsoever to do any complaint previosuly filed against a board member and is simply not relevant to determining whether or not your conduct did or did not comply with any relevant laws or regualtions and your attempt at trying to dig up dirt on those board members sitting in judgment on your case could easily backfire if it annoyed or angered any of them. While that should not have affected their judgment of your case, human nature is such that it easily could have.

I did not request names. Numbers only. Complaints should be treated equally for all appraisers and knowing the details of that complaint, they are not. Just sayin'.

Arbitrary and capricious treatment of licensees is against the law here. I suppose you think it is just that "deficiencies" in my report warranted discipline while identical issues identified by the same "reviewer" at the same time in another report I signed were deemed inconsequential enough to ignore while awarding my trainee a license, too. And when the Board member mentioned above was asked about them, he downplayed their significance and said they were just something to think about.

And, by the way, the most significant "deficiency" in these reports was that neither included the township and range in the legal description, instead relying on the tract and plat numbers as expressed in the most recent deed pertaining to the subjects.
