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.

The Appraisal Foundation actively solicits input from virtually all directions. Which is entirely appropriate given their role. If you're going to allege that they're selling out to the lobbyists then the only way to demonstrate an allegation that TAF is corrupt is to point to an effect.

So exactly what you would say TAF has done that you think favors these bankers over your own legitimate interests? Be specific.

This is basically a "put up or shut up" challenge. You can either support your opinion or you can't.

The world really sucks, doesn't it? Apparently, everyone else is a criminal and either has already screwed over people like you already or is looking to do so in the future.

You and a few others on here might benefit greatly from reading this: https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/what-would-aristotle-do/201207/stop-playing-the-blame-game

Of course it is just easier to keep blaming everyone else for your apparent misery
 
djd09 is based on the real life of Dale Gribble (or is it Rusty Shackleford):

OK Let's pretend DJD is correct ? Who cares because he is just another appraiser with no-real money- no political power and no opinion that anyone in the Bureaucracy is going to listen too ! Basically he is an-indentured slave and should place his energy and brilliant mind into something positive because Bureaucracy's are machines that are like a viruses and just keep growing and although it may feel warm and fuzzy to watch turner classic movies nothing has changed except appraisers keep looking for some White-Knight to ride in and save them** Not happening you are nothing but a paper-pushing -desk weenie and in the service your rank would at best be a Non-Com Corporal in charge of a bunch of new recruits and privates** Now take a deep breath and get into the real world and make some money : LOL:)
 
Marion, I disagree with you alot. All those years of working on my own I thought I was a businessman. Silly me.
I don't write alot, a lot of the time.

But if everyone agreed with me, the world would be a boring place.

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.

Does this include banking with Wells Fargo?

Rolling back the college degree requirement is a huge favor to AMC's at the expense of the appraisal profession.
 
There is only one reason for the AQB action and it is that many appraisers refuse to do business with AMC's. Instead of letting the market work it out they did the AMC's a huge favor.
