Do you plan on just attending AAROs meeting or do you intend to challenge them on policies and practices?

Please:

1. WHY they refuse to allow non regulators to attend their investigators courses in Florida, so that full course content can be audited by APPRAISERS? Telling us that we must get permission from our state boards to attend is the same as saying “not allowed.” Getting permission from such corrupt state regulatory boards as California’s BREA by anyone that has ever challenged (& defeated) them in court is just not going to happen.

2. Ask them WHY they feel that an investigators appraisal review standard lower than the MINIMUM standards required for all federally regulated appraisals is somehow acceptable when investigators are supposedly determining OUR compliance with USPAP? Dont let them wriggle off the hook by saying “well investigations follow state laws…the whole point of USPAP is a FEDERAL standard and it says within USPAP what compliance is and is not.”

3. Ask them to adopt AT THAT MEETING a new policy or statement of intent to modify policy that ALL REGULATORY INVESTIGATIONS  will be encouraged to follow USPAP in all aspects including peer review and peer perceptions.

4. Ask them why appraisers are expected to understand and comply with USPAP while state regulators are not capable of doing so without an unofficial, third party organization for regulators to tell them how?

Good luck!
