In reply to Todd Redington. Todd, what an intriguing reference. On WA HB 1110. That’s a long read, but one can skim through most of the definitions. I cleared through that with skimming in about five minutes. [link] Local municipalities and local residents should be in control of how their neighborhoods are developed, not central planners. Local appraisers will struggle to adapt and conform.

In reply to Dave. Take what you would want to get paid for your time to do a cookie cutter tract home next door to your office. For every hour or portion you spend in your car charge your hourly rate. Both directions. How much hour/portion do you spend on comp pics for that job? add it. Then add fees for PITA orders like MH or 1025 or review or condo or 3,000′ 1 bedroom geodesic log home on 100 acres oceanfront with a private beach… ie; base fee is $525 for next door. you drive 30 mi

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

Finally we are getting a meaningful dialougue from the worker bees. YEP took some extra time to provide meaningful business information from years 2016 – 2023. So important because that is indicative of what we all experienced since 2016 (remember my comments as to what is fair and not what you were charging 10 years ago). What do we do? I tell you what we do NOT do, we don’t suggest appropriate fees.

Great post. I hadn’t laughed all day yet. Neither have I been “engaged” by Class in well over 2 years. Requests for proposals, aka as a bid from Class I’ve seen many. Haven’t bothered with any in well over a year when it became clear that what they claim not to do is precisely what they do. Changing a verb or noun to their definition is not fooling the clear minded.

Jaydee… you can’t just say that without additional context or consideration… Are you saying a tract home appraisal with 3 model match sold sales within 3 blocks and both an active and pending sale nearby to round out the lender’s request for those as well should cost $800 and that I should charge the same $800 for a home with similar utility to that property, but with comps that are over a mile away in every direction, none of which are model match sal

In reply to Retired Appraiser. I understand what you are saying about the Govt should not be able to restrict discussion about fees, but fees are completely dependent on market. I live 20 25 miles from downtown Seattle, but because I am across a body of water in a semi-rural area, the amount of “time” it takes me to just take my comp pics is way longer than your typical tract appraiser in the Seattle MSA.
