In reply to MC. And maybe thats the reason they are always trying to find alternatives to appraisers. when we start demanding fees that frankly I dont think were worth we are forcing the industry to seek alternative less costly methods. I still say $2k for an appraisal is price gouging and $4k is bs.

But however well-known these sayings might be, it requires a change in mindset to properly implement a cash flow management system that predicts your business's runaway as accurately as possible. Key to this new mindset is understanding the difference between the Statement of Cash Flows, a historical look at the source and uses of cash, and the Cash Flow Statement, which uses transaction history and forward-l

In reply to Page. Exactly. This has become a discussion that borders on ridiculous. No. Appraising a 1200 sf house is not worth $2000. But if someone can gouge the client, go for it. Take advantage of the homeowner because he chooses to travel 6 hours to do an appraisal. How does anyone really even know a market thats 3 hours away? I dont walk out the door for less than $750.

If you Google risk oversight, you will usually get an article (more often than not written by a consultant) about oversight of risk management by the board. But I believe that is far too narrow a perspective. Consider: Every decision-maker is responsible for understanding all the risks relative to their decision.

I do it all the time and I get it. I got $2000 for driving 3 hours each way and the subject was just a standard 1200 square foot home. Why did I get $2k, because I asked for it and that’s what my time is worth for driving that far. in my area I get $625 flat rate at a minimum all the time.
