valuation Expo

[Michigan CG]

And every major lender in the country will be there. if you can't figure out how to make 1000 fold the cost of attendance you have a social disorder. Seriously... This is low hanging fruit. The lenders and AMCs recognize that serious professions show up for conferences. They want to do business with you...........

Come on Joan, do you really think that someone who goes to that expo is going to meet people at booths and automatically pick up clients at reasonable fees?

The typical residential appraiser goes to the expo and meets with XYZ AMC and the AMC says, OH MY GOD, we met Alice from Grand Forks, Nebraska and we need her on our list at $400. Oh and then there was Jerry from Dallas, Texas, get him on the list for $375. And then there was Debbie from Syracuse, New York, get her business RIGHT now at $425. Finally we have Dennis who works in Peoria, Illinois who needs $350 per report, and he was here and he needs to go on the list.

Most appraisers were born during the day, but it wasn't yesterday.

(quote) ..."Every major lender in the county will be there". Come on now Joan! I do not remember any major lender's there when I was at the 2009 conference. The only ones I remember were the scum bag AMCs, which none of them pay more than $225 for a SFR 1004. Thank you no, I do not want to connect with them!

They are all there... Chase, B of A, US Bank, MetLife, Wells Fargo, Flagstar, ING, Citizens, Fifth Third, PNC and more

Been before - spent a bunch of money.

This time, I think I'll keep my dollars in my wallet.

The list of lenders who attend give their work to AMC's or own AMC's, so why would they use an individual appraiser who stops by their booth?

Has any appraiser who ever went to the Expo gotten a non AMC client?

I stand by my statement, AMCs are the worst clients to have, but I did enjoy the show.

I suspect that you and Joan both realize that this would likley be in violation of Dud-Fwink.

Here is a reason NOT to take this even remotely seriously.

Why would anyone want to hear this idiot speak?

 

[J Grant]

I wonder how many appraisers attend.

Would it send a message if no appraisers attended?

I just have to buy a ticket to write off my trip to vegas as a business expense, right? I really don't have to attend... lol
