Yes to your question about a half day class. And I’d be interested in getting any documents he has available.

Can I please get a copy of the prompts emailed to me?

Whom do I contact to receive Ernie's prompts?

I was just wondering who reviews the Doctor's work and sends an email requesting the Doctor to provide support for his analysis and opinion that the patient actually has a cold??

New report type is ok as long as it gives the appraiser opportunity to explain his or her logic arriving at the certain value, such as why certain comps are chosen or not chosen, etc.

Can I get a list of the prompts please emailed to me?? Thanks

Yes to the question towards the end

Thanks for mentioning the opportunity around 6 min mark home equity

great question

Pimpin' with that chain

You are an appraiser buying that condo. A knowledgeable buyer. Not all of America is like that. Less than more.

Your guest noted that there wasn't as many complaints being filed..#1 not as many appraisals being done..#2 maybe the appraisers are watching their butts a little closer..hence the advertising to drum up more complaints..there's talk to make frannie and freddie private again which would change the borrowing standards and i think make appraisers more relevant and secure their future..that's a topic i'd like to see explored ...

Great job, guys! Enjoying your webinar!

Thanks for updates.

You speak very clearly and motivatingly, thanks for sharing.

So, given that you did not address what happened at the end of Jason’s Val Expo presentation… are we to assume that his whole meltdown was staged?

It was helpful, but many topics weren't resolved or explored thoroughly. The value of furnishings continues to be dodged, even in this podcast. The condo example acknowledged that an RE agent gave some contributory value to the furnishings but that an appraiser wouldn't. We were then advised to find comps that sold furnished/ unfurnished to support any adjustments. Doesn't this make us personal property appraisers then and subject to Standards 7 & 8 as well as licensing and insurance coverage issues? Agents in my market, like the one in the example, know to avoid stepping into this minefield and always claim that no consideration was given to a turnkey house or condo (even in the multi-million price range). This can happen even when the listing plays up the quality and quantity of furnishings. Regarding STRs, if I understood correctly, we are advised to appraise only the realty and ignore the business value. So, should we treat two comparable properties the same even if one is allowed to rent on a STR basis and the other is not? If you make an adjustment for STR capability, are you evaluating the business component, and do standards 9 & 10 apply? We were also advised to seek some 'other' form besides the 1007 for a STR appraisal. That's just avoiding the issue and not offering a solution. I recently had a job bid for a STR where the AMC Nationwide requested a short term rental analysis and provided their own form, with instructions and a sample report filled out. At least someone is attempting to provide a solution on what TO do instead of only what NOT to do.

please...freddie mac is trying to destroy the appraiser business with their lies about appraiser bias...i wish you would use your voice to bring the industry together so we can fight the likes of freddie mac and HUD....PS: you have some nice bottles back there !

I am sorry but I cant stand this idea that there are 2 appraisers. White appraisers and appraisers of color. We are all appraisers as equal. To keep pushing that narrative is bothering me.

How does it handle a rounded wall?

What a GREAT place for a recording studio!

My president of my firm is a Certified General Appraiser and he already is in the works of training me to become commercial appraiser soon as he gets his MAI. I have an adequate degree to become Certified Residential, but not Certified General. Removing this barrier for people like me will transcend the industry in many ways!

And make sure the lawn sprinkler is off.

The mistake you made was not making contact before you started the inspection. I don't care who it is, where it is, what it is, regardless of what the broker says, etc., etc., etc., I ALWAYS make contact before I do anything. You MUST realize that people are afraid and on edge, everywhere, at all times. If you think that logic, information and explanations will stop a bullet, you might have a short life. Sorry if that sounds terse, but if you're not hyper aware in today's world, you're asking for problems. The point is ... always make contact first. In Texas, if we see a gun, we just ask "Hey, is that a long Colt 45 or a 357? Oh, nice pistol. I'm gonna do my outside work then come inside. I'd like to see your gun collection" ... Have a nice day and don't assume anything.

Snakes-Yup, Dawgs-Love Them, Chicken in the house-Yup, Pig in the house-Yup, Rabbit in the House-Yup, Birds of all types-Yup and Many More Guns - No Problem, they don't jump up and hurt anyone, I carry mine on inspections on the hills and mountains We have an area that even the Sheriff will not go into Needless to say I have special rules about going there for reports. I can spell those rules out if you want to hear them James Pratt CA : AR029013

I've experienced many scary moments during the course of my appraisal career, the scariest getting caught up in an undercover police sting while driving comparables in a residential neighborhood. A plain-clothes vice policeman wearing no badge barricaded my vehicle with his unmarked truck, stepped out of it, and proceeded to point a revolver at me. There are many more details surrounding this experience of mine, but I'll stop here 😰😅

The new UAD will be an improvement. Once appraisers get use to the new system, it will be better.

Great podcast Bryan, liked and shared with our lender customers!

Much needed update. It's still vague, though. If there is a sale in a market where there are STRs, we have to adjust for the personal property and going concern value of the business. Isn't that essentially developing an opinion of value for those components?

Bryan, thanks for going to the source! I found the questions about FF&E to be informative. Thanks for raising the issue!

Nice job. Nice to get the clarity from Fannie Mae.

Great discussion on Reconciliation. Arguably the most important part of the appraisal report that often times gets the least amount of attention. Do you guys offer any classes on Reconciliation?

Thanks, Hal, for the grit and glory of your thoughts on AI!

I have the college degree and I’m a Certified Residential but want to upgrade. I can’t find any General to take me on. What if any are available to upgrade?

How about making it mandatory to be a Supervisory Appraiser in order to become a Certified General Appraiser.

Bravo Mr. Reynolds I must admit and say if there has been a response that was not foreseen in responding to an upset listener… yours is definitely it. Reminds me that there is a character and a mindset that goes along with empathy and compassion. In today's social media world, I did expect…. let me rephrase I did NOT expect a turned-to-the-other-cheek type mentality. Keep that same mindset it's a good lesson as well as an example for appraisers and others regardless of the industry. I say again well done. BE Well BE Informed BE Blessed

Well-said, Mr. Reynolds.

What about second levels, particular of the more complex type involving hipped roof lines and the second-floor areas contained therein. Also, any sense of if and/or when you may be able to use with an Android device?

Anyone who has ever installed wood flooring would vouch for Joel's comment that walls aren't square/90-degree angles don't exist in homes.

With these "no effort" measuring methods, there really isn't any real verification that it is correct. It's 100% trusting of the no effort method technology. I don't know...

I'm that appraiser from the clipboard standpoint, otherwise I'm pretty teched-out. Wheel tape measures come in handy at times, so I keep one in my vehicle when needed.

Lazer is nice, but does not always work Clipboard is Best, I find I write more notes on the folder then if I try to put the data on an iPad

Thank you for sharing… it’s very hard to lose life… sorry for your loss

I was turned into the state one time by a home owner who did not like my opinion of value. Here’s my tip I learned from this- if the owner threatens to turn you in while inspecting the property, walk away. Within the first five minutes, he threatened. Over the coarse of the next two months, he boldly threatened multiple times in emails to get my license suspended by the state if I did not come in at his value. (FYI- he insisted I use listings of a builder which were vacant lots and not even built and had been on the market for 16 months with no sales and builder actually closing at least $100,000 less than the listings). It took a full week to write up and compile my defense plus printing and collating and shipping costs- because I had 14 days to reply. (I had to provide all my data, mls, public records plus four appraisal updates because he sent three reconsiderations of value with the same listings. The book had chapters with a Table of Contents to find everything and have it make sense.) It was dropped by the state (took three months for the decision) but how I wish I had just turned around and walked out the door ten minutes in. Learning lesson.

I feel there will be a realization that agents can be less transparent without having a set area to see compensation. What type of deals will be made or who or (who not ) you work with. How will you deal with agent vs just buyers not represented.

I like when you do these appraisal math lessons keep them coming
