Bill there is NO way they have 25% of American appraisers. That 20,000 member we keep hearing include their members in all 60 countries they claim!

Just guessing, I doubt they have 8,000 American Members total. At best 10% vs 25%. We already know from AI members own posts there is rampant dissatisfaction and decline in members renewing.

I personally doubt they have 1% of appraisers in America that they truly speak for and even less whose interests they look out for.

Q6/C6 is generous. I think its an imminent health and safety hazard to the community and requires a red tag.

But………. AI says they speak for ALL appraisers, how can this not be so????

Surely we can all blindly put our faith in them can’t we?

IF you are a non AI appraiser with no recollection of asking them to speak for you, chances are you have Alzheimer’s and wouldn’t have known what to say for yourself anyway.

Let me give you some tips on how to do this just in case you enjoy an occasional conversation with yourself. Find a comfortable spot and settle in. No distractions. And dive right in and ask yourself the challenging questions. So here it goes”

Yes appraisers this is the type of person that was chosen to represent YOU at the recent subcommittee hearing on housing and insurance in Washington D.C.
