Virgina REAB and Portal Petition

I was on topic, but it seems I upset someone so i got a big ole sanction for defending my honor. Apparently folks can question my allegiance to my profession, but if I stand up for myself i am asked to be professional. I have been, and used langauge that was both direct and much cleaner than i would have in person. I will remove myself from the discussion. I thought being involved gave me a right to advoate and explain but obviously. Have fun ladies and gentleman

Have a hug - and come join me in the cranky corner.........:Emoticon_hug:
 
Well Bear, I believe you see "it" very clearly, and I concur with your observations.
Your #4 would most probably require litigation either in part or en masse (which may not be a bad idea; start by initiating a class action suit for forcing appraisers to use a delivery system that is not USPAP compliant?)

Pretty good bet that Webbed is following every page of this thread. I admire that he (and Oregon Doug as well) may not post often, but when he/they do, it tends to be articulate and well worth reading.....

Woody my man, your passion got the best of you today. Thats O.K., this fight needs people like you with that passion, and I know you will not give up no matter what the spin masters do.....

And if were going to have a cranky corner, can we bring beer?

Please do......I will supply the popcorn and perhaps a bottle of Tequila.......it may help ease the pain of being cranky..........any corner Mr Webbed is in is a corner worth finding!
 
AIReady is Trademark Pending by the Appraisal Institute.

Most, if not all, the First American owned or partially owned AMCs, and LSI, and a few others, ARE converting your reports to AIReady (or something else) WITHOUT your knowing anything about it - and sending the altered reports to FNC!!!


I truly do not understand how anybody with any sense of decency would even begin to consider these conversion alterations are OK. Now, those same people are trying to cover their own rancid litter box by claiming the appraisers using this system are 100% responsible for whatever the 'conversion' alteration does because the appraiser is the one doing it. (I can see the gun to the appraiser's heads.) And, the ones perpetrating these conversion alterations are claiming it's not their fault because the lender clients are demanding these conversion alterations be done.


Please, let's get all of this in front of the Federal Courts, and make sure the media is there to cover it. Do any of you think FNC, the AI members involved, and the lenders 'demanding' this would like to put this all in front of the courts and the media? How about Fannie and Freddie, would they like this all fully disclosed? I intend to find out and I am no longer all alone.

I will bring the crown and ginger ale guys:clapping:

Pam:

Do you have proof that FA is selling data to FNC?
 
I don't know about 'selling' it, but I do have them stating the report will be converted into AIReady prior to sending it to BofA and FNC - in writing.
 
Seems to me that Bearslide has it down to the gnat's eyelash...right on target...thanks for the post # 530....I am proud to know most of you in here....keep up the great work and great suggestions.....we need to do this together......and we are...trust me we are...slowly but surely
 
Your #4 would most probably require litigation either in part or en masse (which may not be a bad idea; start by initiating a class action suit for forcing appraisers to use a delivery system that is not USPAP compliant?)
The problem will be getting someone who isn't among the passionate that USPAP covers delivery systems. Is that in Std 11?
 
I don't think anybody thinks that USPAP covers delivery systems, but the individual States can say that an appraiser licensed in their State cannot use a system known to break and enter the locked appraisal report and alter it, which compromises the whole integrity of the appraisal process.
 
2. As currently designed, AIReady does not allow the appraiser to comply with USPAP as far as record keeping and true copies. Why is that such a problem for AIReady supporters to acknowledge?

Maybe because it just isn't true. As a past ASB member I am as strong a proponent for USPAP compliance as you will meet. However, using the words in USPAP, no one has been able to demonstrate lack of compliance. The claim of lack of compliance is based on "unwritten rules." We are talking about appraisal regulation, not baseball.

I have the files that I sent, and I have the ability to pull them up on my screen. If a board wants to see them, they will have to obtain a viewer, just as they would have to obtain a viewer to see my PDF, Excel or SFREP files.

Should there be a print feature. Yes, but lack of one does not constitute noncompliance with USPAP.

Why is it, if these converted reports are so innocent and have not been altered to a clients advantage, that no one is willing to provide said reports to the appraiser requesting them? If there is nothing to hide, why is it being hidden?

This claim has been made often. Just because you hear something 50 times, that doesn't necessarily mean it is true.

I decided to test this claim yesterday. I asked a lender to send me a copy of a report we submitted in AIReady format last week. I received it within a few minutes. How many of you have actually asked for a copy of your own report and how many just accept the claim without verifying it?
