Since the effective date is one of the six major elements in problem identification, the ASB discussed it often while I was a member.
There is nothing in USPAP about the inspection date (that is a Fannie Mae thing), and I don't recall the Board ever discussing it.
You seem to be hung up on the theory that Z got something changed in USPAP to allow it to "get away with" using an effective date that was different from the inspection date, but nothing in USPAP has ever required those dates to be the same.
Now THAT was funny. Not coffee on the shirt funny, but funny. And just what percentage of the posts in this thread have not been about AppraisalPort and/or AIReady?
How about eAppraiseIT and Zaio for starters.
How about re-defining or getting the terms inspected vs. effective 'clarified'. Or determining that this issue is not under the jurisdiction of USPAP, in and of itself, would be quite favorable to Zaio, don't you think?
My so called 'hang up' is a direct result of personal conversations with Ken Verrett, whom I'm sure you're acquainted with, correct?
You know what I find even more disturbing than coffee on the shirt--
After serving on multiple city, county and non-profits for the past 18 years here in Florida, I can honestly tell you that while my votes were often sought after by developers and other real estate related companies, I never once became a paid "anything" for any of those companies after my tenure was up. Nor did I seek to purchase property in areas where my vote may have determined future growth, condemnation, land use changes, etc.
The appearance of impropriety or favoritism even after the fact, while not technically a conflict of interest, was simply not something I wanted to project. I liken it to past presidents of AI now in paid positions for Zaio. It's not illegal, but for many, it raises some genuine concerns.
And while your attempts to circumvent and re-direct the real issue of AMC's, their delivery systems, AI Ready, altering of reports, etc., please take note, MOST aren't buying it Danny.
Mr. Turner's involvement with a lawsuit involving a single AMC vs. his long standing public service both real estate and community related boards and committees is quite a leap.
Knowing Mr. Turner as I do, I can just about guarantee that his opinions and concerns over what's going on would still be in place with or without any lawsuit. As it should be.
