Alphabet reached far outside its industry boundaries to recruit its new CFO; Anat Ashkenazi, an Eli Lilly veteran, takes charge of the Google parent’s finances this summer, replacing Ruth Porat, who was promoted to president and CIO. Unusual, yes; the drugmaker and the tech giant have very different lines of business, their cultures are different, and so are their strategic priorities.

This has become so comical. So now in addition to being racist and biased we are now incompetent. Hey, just part of their master plan to just keep piling on the coffin nails to seal our fate. This is just another coup de gras shot to ensure the industry is DOA. How some obscure entity can make such a ridiculous accusation is blasphemous. Hell, most “respected” publications will tell you any two appraisers worth their salt should be within 5% of one another.

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

so when the appraised value comes in at the exact sales price then we are hitting numbers but when it is not within $2,500 of sales price then it is inaccurate. we can’t win.

There’s nothing like being an appraiser. The more you know, the more education you have, the more experience you have, the more expertise you have, the more you finish on time, the more accurate you are, etc., the more you’re considered nothing but a vendor, a tool, to pay as little as possible and to give as little civility and respect as possible.

In reply to Anthony Blackburn on Facebook. Housinwire has no interest in publishing content from appraisers. They removed the comment section, likely to avoid hearing critical feedback from the appraiser community. In fact, HousingWire has not featured an appraiser-authored article in quite some time. The publication is aligned with AMCs and will persistently promote their narrative against appraisers.

I do agree with the last quote “The growing gap.” paragraph, but not coming up to the contract price when you have accounted for market trends through timing adjustments isn’t a deficiency in the appraisal. Lets be honest, its the job of cash in the hands of buyers that want something more than they care about market value that often push the market to new heights.

I mean, housing wire is nothing more than a paid mouthpiece by every AMC article they have put out. What’s funny is if you were to run AVMs under that same requirement you would probably have a 90-95% fail rate.

$2,500 / $420,00 is 0.6%, not 0.006%. Still an insignificant amount. CSS is an AMC. What they are saying is that 40% of appraisals ordered through this company are inaccurate.

Corporates and agent banks had a traditionally distant relationship. Not anymore. In the ever-evolving landscape of global finance, the once-muted lines of dialogue between corporates and sub-custodians have transformed into a vibrant exchange. As Richard Anton, chief client officer at CIBC Mellon, tells it, the most fundamental aspects of sub-custodianship have remained somewhat consistent over the years.

Clearly the author of the HW article does not comprehend that appraisals are not meant, in any possible way, to meet contract price. Appraisals are necessary to determine “market value” which may be at, above or below contract price. Why is that type of garbage “journalism” allowed? Especially in specific industry related materials?

Now disclose the number of home sales in the past 4 years have used a drive-by, hybrid appraisal, or some AVM product for loan value verification.

The differences between price and value. Look at this MC chart detail. There are numerous examples of agents adjusting price, negotiating price up or down, on average 5% or less, some more varied. This is only two metrics, the last known listed price, the final sales price. If one looked in detail tracking the total movement of price from start to contract (multiple pricing adjustments), the numbers can easily double in terms of total percentage variance.
