Where Do You Think "geographic Competency" Begins And Ends?

[Mr Rex]

Sounds good TC, but still not a business.

Even if you look at your local carpenters. They get the job and are responsible for the final outcome. No one who serves by "the grace of the governor" ever investigates to see if the that carpenter owned a hammer on the day you "bought their service" No state investigator will ever be sent to verify those where 6 penny nails used, and not 10 penny nails. It might have had the outward appearance of a business, but you could not send another carpenter to do part of the work without full disclosure and certification to the client, to which, the client had to approve. Still was just self employment. You might have had the option to use Kodak film or Fugi film in your camera, or to hire Photo Mat or the local drug store to process your film, but that was only to get around employment and tax laws. You could not contract with Photo Mat to process all your film, if your client decided they only wanted pictures from Fugi.

But you did have greater options and opportunities for a wider selection of clients to work for. And there-in you find a big difference. Businesses have customers that buy their services. Appraisers have always had clients, to which the Appraiser owes something to, other than just the product purchased. Appraisers never had any "customers" only "clients".

Ummm, Marion you might want to start buying a different brand of tin foil than JGrant and Eli or you would not spout blatant mistruths... Not too often but often enough for me to say Granny lay off the squeezings erry now and again. Credibility is easier lost that gained as any appraiser knows and the over the top type statements don't help. Just saying...

Fannie-Freddie- FHA-VA - Eliminate Appraisers- they are done ... Obsolete :LOL

Marion, I disagree with you alot. All those years of working on my own I thought I was a businessman. Silly me.

Most construction projects have subcontractors who are specialists and who hire their own employees. Most companies hire employees who perform only a very limited range of functions when compared to everything that occurs at that company. No subterfuge involved.

If your default is to hate everyone you interact with then you are the one who loses the most off of that.

If pointing out who is crooked is hateful, then i am guilty.

If an appraiser was fined billions of dollars for illegal actions, i wonder if you would still think they should be licensed?

 

[George Hatch]

You should assume that if I had meant to refer to every corporate entity you interact with that I would have written it that way.

My reference to "the people you interact with" should have been taken literally, because I meant it literally.

 

[djd09]

Don't discount forced interactions.

 

[George Hatch]

This here's 2018. Slavery has been illegal in the U.s. for many years.

And you're probably still not directly interacting with anyone who belongs in prison. After all, from their perspective its just business. Unless you make it personal for them.

Maybe you should review the IAC members.

If an appraiser did what some of these members did, they would have been in jail. But somehow they help write the rules. wink wink.

Name one - be specific as to their "crime".
