In reply to Mark Zeigler. I have said it before and I will say it again and again and again… Report “Quality” complaints are ONLY made when the value does not come in at contract or “as expected” So as long as your 75 mile away cost cutter comes into value, there is no quality control issue or complaint. Subsequently, how does one prove that the lowest bid was the worst appraisal if the appraisal gets no complaints… Bias exists in our profession and it always

When asked my fee and turn time I have put the past 5 with 2 day turn time and my standard fee. Clearly I received none because they want the lowest fees out there. One appraiser was $100 less and 75 miles away. Saw that horrible report, but that was the lowest fee and the appraiser did not know this area at all.

In reply to Baggins. It seems to me this is selective discrimination against one profession, appraisal. If one profession can be made to retake their “licensing” exam every two years then ALL professions should be made subject to the same standard including, but not limited to; lawyers, accountants, realtors, brokers, doctors and the list continues.

Four antifraud controls are associated with at least a 50% reduction in both fraud loss and duration, according to “Occupational Fraud 2024: A Report to the Nations” published by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE). They are financial statement audits, reporting hotlines, surprise audits, and proactive data analysis. However, the ACFE study also found that two of these — surprise audits and proactive data analysis — are among the least commonly implemented controls.

In reply to Eric Kretz. Book sale revenue must be down. If one suffers a licensing downgrade, would likely to be subjected to updated college degree requirements to regain the license. Even if you pass the tests, the proposal is a never ending series of additional fees and specifically required collegiate level class work based specifically on your wrong answers.

As internships and full-time jobs begin each year, new hires flock online and start asking the same question repeatedly: “Help! I hate this job.

The bad news is that it may be extremely difficult to near impossible unless you get a top MBA.

In reply to Baggins. Once again, I’d prefer that the ‘Powers That Be’ just say the quiet parts out loud. They don’t want appraisers. Appraisers are getting squeezed from both ends – the regulatory side of Fannie and Freddie, HUD DEI nonsense, and state boards, AI and appraisal waivers; and then from the broken client/AMC model.
