In reply to SCW. SCW- Well said, and some serious macro thinking. The only real question is – what is the appraisers course of action, as a collective? What can be done? The TAF and ASC are riddled in turmoil. Our elected officials are worthless. Appraisers have no representation in Washington and are truly hated by the NAR and NHBA, who realistically would be our only allies.

In reply to JL. Join a union, really? So you are ok with monthly Union Dues on top of appraisal fees, a union representative and for a union to set the appraisal fees for residential properties.? Maybe Property Data Collectors could also form a Union of their own. Then appraisers get to meet in a union hall at night to make demands of our Union Leaders for when a union contract expires say 2-3 years per contract.

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

In reply to Baggins. I agree it is a mess. Frank Dodd created the mess we are in the present. When interest rates climbed as they have in several different real estate markets since the 1970’s there has been a fall out of appraisers due to lack of work between good and bad times. When rates increased, it is like a water faucet being turned off with respect to available appraisal work.

In reply to Flash. Judges. Lawyers. Courtrooms. That’s not going to fly for many of us. What happened to focus on the consumer and American institutions working for the American people? I was in appraisal for consumer protection and personal independence. What about the hundred million people who will need to engage in conventional lending systems over the next decade or so?

In reply to Mariateresa V. Canosa. So you worked for a local government agency which operated differently than independent appraisers at large. There is no comparison. None. Working for the local government agency is great and you were part of a union with a contract with the county. Again, no comparison at all to the real world of independent appraisers.

So what now? Our goverment is allowing these hybrid appraisals, appraisers are doing them because they are starving and our elected leaders turn the other way and keep hicking up interest rates and destroying the housing and lending markets and no one is standing up for truth and what is right.

Your description of “union bosses” & the rest of the nonsense you wrote is beyond laughable & absurdly out of date. We never had meetings like you described. Our union dues were more than reasonable & well worth it, especially considering what we got for it.
