USPAP class for the thirteenth time

[George Hatch]

Independent means not influenced or controlled by others...

It doesn't mean ignoring the legitimate requirements of these users. It means not lying about the property or the value in furtherance of any interests a client might have. It means saying no to them if/when appropriate. As in, NOT engaging in client advocacy.

Speaking of which, why don't you pick a principle and try to stick to it? You know, at least attempt to be consistent in your reasoning.

t makes no sense for you to whine about being prohibited from engaging in client advocacy in one post and then 5 minutes later whine about being prohibited from ignoring the legitimate requirements of their appraisal policies. Those are two opposing complaints.

Do you want to work in good faith to support the legitimate interests of each of these parties in the transaction or not?

Do you actually want him to ignore your concerns and only check your hearing because that's all he wants to do? That's all he wants to sell you? I don't think so.

Why do appraisers like to compare appraisers to doctors, attorneys, pilots, plumbers, mechanics, etc....

Because they sell services to their clients, just like appraisers do.

appraisers are currently enslaved by the banking industrial complex and the 15th st complex...

Relevance to this discussion? None. I agreed to not violate their copyrights or disseminate their proprietary materials. So what?

The bankers did what the bankers did, including accepting appraisals that had been controlled by the loan salesmen. Congress didn't like that outcome any better than when the FRTs did it 20 years earlier, so they enacted a similar ban. Which they SHOULD have done the first time they realized the effects of allowing non-users to control the appraisers.
