Jonathan, your post highlights an incredibly important and often overlooked issue in today’s real estate market: the proliferation of appraisal waivers and the resulting data cancer thats infecting property valuations. I wholeheartedly agree that allowing inflated sales prices, which aren’t adequately reviewed by a licensed appraiser, to become the basis for future comps is a dangerous and unsustainable practice.
Oh great, another day, another junk fee! Because nothing says “we appreciate you” like slapping appraisers with a new $19.99 monthly charge for the privilege of using a platform they didnt even choose in the first place. Its like being forced into a gym membershipexcept instead of getting fit, you just get poorer. Appraisers are understandably fuming.

The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today. 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
I would suggest that we all contact DOGE to investigate the GSEs, AMCs, etc. I absolutely believe we have fraudulent activities going on in these agencies that are making some people a bundle of money off our backs, and starving us out so they can control values. It’s worth a shot to bring back our once honorable profession.

Yes, if a “Class Action” suit comes to fruition and appraisers and the lawyers involved would take that part of the appraisal industry into the fold, then absolutely “YES” that charge would be added. The potential law suit is to protect all aspects of the appraisal industry that has been effected.
In reply to Bob Ipock. Attorneys that take on class action suits generally do not charge money upfront because they get a huge fee if they win. Also, attorneys do not take on class action suits unless they feel they have a very good chance on winning. So, appraisers most likely will not have to give financial support.

I’m in, I just replied to a baseless complaint from the word police at FNMA. I questioned my state board whether this case can hold water since PAVE was disbanded but they chose to proceed anyway.
