What i do not realize is in truth how you are no longer actually a lot more smartly-favored than you might be right now. You’re so intelligent. You already know therefore considerably in terms of this topic, made me in my opinion believe it from a lot of various angles. Its like women and men don’t seem to be involved except it is something to do with Woman gaga! Your individual stuffs outstanding. All the time care for it up!

I’ve asked this question here and on other forums…but I’ll try it again.
Why won’t AMCs divulge their “take” of the appraisal fee? Why is the AMC “take” not listed as a separate expense on the settlement agreement? Why is that expense not billed to the lender?
How do you sleep at night?

Performance cannot be appraised without the existence of an explicit standard. This is the other major benefit to both organisations and their staff in introducing appraisal systems: it forces discussion and agreement on an objective standard of performance which staff members are supposed to reach. Performance is appraised in all organisations: when this appraisal is purely subjective and based on different criteria and different people’s definitions of “acceptable”, organisations leave themselves wide open for political behaviour, favouritism (or accusations of it) and demotivated staff.

John -
I would say that he’s not. The NAIHP was started in October ’09 according to “whois.com”. He is just trying to get something started. It’s nothing close to the NAR or AI as far as memberships. Both of those associations haven’t really done much for the progression of the industry.

The above story and comments clearly indicate that Marc Savitt and the NAIHP are lobbying. Are they registered to lobby? Who do they represent? Their website implies they support all independent housing professionals, how many people actually belong to the NAIHP? This is important stuff and I’ve personally experienced now what a hothead Marc Savitt is. I hope Congress doesn’t think he represents realtors and homebuilders.

I love how this article states that AMC’s “ONLY” retain 20-30% of the fee. I don’t think that they add 20-30% in value to the lender. There are other options out there for lenders and appraisers…you just have to look around. The changes (hvcc and fha) don’t “require” lenders to use an AMC.

Give the AMCs a break. Let them lie to americans for a little longer. What comes around usually goes around and the AMCs have already planted the seeds for their own untimely deaths. Cuomo is so arrogant that he also fails to realize that HVCC will cost him the NY governorship.

Realtors, appraisers, mortgage brokers, & borrowers have endured the HVCC ass kicking for nearly 12 months.

The time has arrived for these four groups to render a relentless asskicking in reverse.

CONTACT YOUR U.S. SENATOR ABOUT GETTING RID OF HVCC WHILE BEFORE THEY VOTE.

ASK EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO CONTRIBUTE FUNDS TO WHOMEVER OPPOSES ANDREW CUOMO FOR NY GOVERNOR IN 2010. CNBC RAN A GREAT STORY ON HOW HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FINANCIAL CRISIS. USE THAT STORY TO HELP RAISE FUNDS. END HIS POLITICAL CAREER NOW!!!

I am wondering just how neutral a survey is when it is done for the benefit of the publisher. Finally, AMC’s are being regulated as they should be . They have run rough shod over the appraiser since the beginning. AMC’s increased in power as the major lenders recognized there is another profit center in this “real estate game”. Hopefully, HR 4173 will be passed soon…in that bill the lender will pay the appraiser directly and the AMC will clearly state what service they are providing and what the lender is paying for. It’s about time!
