AMEN to all that stuff and more. Appraisers are ” techies” Not professionals, some of us attempted to be honest and professional about our assignment’s many did-do not know the difference! How many fee simple assignment’s were mistakenly done on Indian or leased lands, and other stuff.

Politician’s may never get it right, and appraisers can’t do anything about the laws, but we can clarify our assignments, and mitigate losses.

As a group SHOULD we encourage litigation!? At the least we would justify timeliness, and our fees.

True. Not sure what the point is though Don. My brother owned access rights to a lake but also had no view of it.

His ownership rights were personal property since membership in the Lake association also required separate payments for its use. Non-mandatory as far as a ‘right’ to join the lake or clubhouse association.

I’ve also done townhome appraisals in Long Beach CA that had deeded dock rights without having views or even being adjacent. Those dock rights also had an additional burden of mandatory payment to the City for use. Its been awhile so ‘ve forgotten many of the details.

All of these examples just reinforce our obligation to do our due diligence. Imho.

The OIL industry is worse, However we have had Presidential members from each of the Industries involved.

Mike, some properties with dock rites DO NOT have water front or view. I have reviewed several foreclosures falsely citing licensed rights as physical attributes. I have also reviewed chicken houses converted to four plexes with ground level flooring and low ceilings fully rented.

Wouldn’t those be an Extraordinary assumption. All appraisals include H&B use as a basis for the OPINIONS given.

WITH MISTLETOE YOU GET A kISS, Are parasites confused with production and the mislead

So true Cotton. Also what about transparency? Also how they look for one word letters and numbers but no explanation. Everyone wants appraisers to write about everything to approve the loan. The appraisals are now like books with all the comments the lenders want.

I don’t recall exactly. I was scrolling through the members and developers lists or one of those pages with profiles and bio’s. Wow, lots of talent. Do a site search via google and hit all the pages, not just the front facing ones. I started to dig in there but said why bother, they’ve already won. My written objection was censored by the Colorado state Corelogic Matrix MLS group. Per my above comment. That kind of shadowbanning technology is not simple or easy to implement. And it rolled out exactly at the same time as the reso program. Coincidence? If you guys can make headway more power to you, but you won’t because their minds are made up and public input is just to keep people from getting too upset. Plans are in motion and they’re opening up speculation to everyone under the guise of ‘globalism’. You guys are going to really love the new global stage and the end to American exceptionalism. Even some of their own tools have ready drop downs to indicate what country you’re focusing on. It’s just only the US side is populated right now. But soon, as this system is developed unilaterally elsewhere, they’ll eventually tie it in together. Want to research for property speculation a half a world away, no problem, do that from the comfort of your 1,000 ft long rainforest wood desk while you kick up your alligator boots and puff on a fine cuban, overlooking the city scape from your penthouse office. Regular market participators, they may find themselves unable to scrape out those great deals in the future. Brand it as technological advancement and see if the people go for it. They’re carving out a new monopoly which is why they have every top name in the industry on board ahead of time.

Baggins:
Who is “They” that you are referencing?

You’d think they would have better tools for the regular guy, having brought in top senior level technical coding and development experts from the military industrial complex companies. Unless of course, it’s not for the regulars. All that talent did not come cheap. This is not a non profit group.

I went to the site and got ‘half’ registered? No place to make payment noted. Navigating site wasn’t very user friendly. I’ll try again tomorrow if I remember.

They’re promoting corporate chains, rewriting definitions, rules, regulations, seeking global integration tools, and claiming non profit. All that work for all that technology is not free, neither will be it’s maintenance and upkeep. They have top pay scale people from top industries working on this as employees from tech to realty. If you know; Who initially funded RESO? Who funds it today? The chain franchise members?

Mike:
Yes you can be heard formally. RESO has many opportunities available to volunteers for various committees or workgroups. There are conferences that you can attend.

You can make a difference. Like any all-volunteer organization, there is always a shortage of volunteers.

$50 a year is cheap enough…though every dollar spent now is buying less than it did last year. I may reconsider. Does Class D membership include ability to be heard formally? To effect or influence change?

If you think there is no foreign involvement as they adopt european definitions of property type… Am I still on planet earth? I don’t have to speculate what RESO is, Corelogic Matrix already brought it forward, and censored all public resistance and criticism to the matter.

Perhaps your definition of foreign involvement and my definition of foreign involvement differ. Don’t be naive.

The Universal Property Identifier (UPI): a global solution for accurate property representation
RESO’s core values align with those of open standards organizations across the globe. Our processes and products are collaborative, business-driven, transparent, innovative, open, inclusive, and measurable.

You’re going to really love the new global aspect of streamlined real estate in America which is readily inclusive to the whole world. You may however, have to kiss your current position goodbye and find a new job. Get ready to compete with the entire world whenever you may be lucky enough to find a local deal on a local property. I love globalism. You will too, or you will be shut out. American values will not apply. We’re going to leave all the protective bureaucracy in the past and the doors to American prosperity will be wide open for everyone to enjoy.

Instead of speculating about what RESO is, I suggest that all Appraisers join, then volunteer for a workgroup.

RESO was formed by NAR in 1999 in order to develop R.E. Standardization for MLSs.

There is no foreign involvement.

I am a Broker member of RESO.

A few years ago I was able to convince RESO to permit Real Estate Appraisers to join RESO. Previously, Appraisers were not allowed to join.

Take advantage of the ability to join as a Class D member for only $50 per year.

Becoming a member will at least give some insight into future technology in Real Estate, rather than finding out after the fact.

Better yet, joining a workgroup will allow you to become part of the future.

I am not a paid or official spokesman for RESO.

Join RESO.org. $50/year
I went to bat for Appraisers so that you can join!!

Look no further than international definitions. RESO is the vehicle to bring easy access for foreign speculators into the USA real estate market. The vehicle which will be used to automate away individual representatives, further erode consumer protection.

The foreign speculators will no longer have to navigate our standards or local bureaucracies. Rather, the entire body of Americans, participators and professionals, will now adapt to other standards from other countries. Soon you’ll see a RESO compliant assessment reporting suite which will be one of the final stages of a complete American real estate take over, restructure assessment reporting in every state and every county.

When Americans lose control of their own systems, and their own sovereignty. RESO and MISMO.

No time to look into it right now but I’d bet my license the two groups are backed by the same people or groups in the background. At some point a conspiracy theory quits being a theory, when enough facts present to illustrate an obvious collusion. aka; racketeering and RICO. None of this is by accident or organic. None of this is for the good of this industry or for the good of consumers. You are watching a concerted takeover of our real estate systems from top to bottom, by a select group of corporations whom have silently monopolized every aspect of this industry possible, forcing the change on those whom would not go along willingly. It’s been a long time in the making, longer than we’ve been alive. It’s finally happening, and too few are willing to resist. Then one person at a time, one property at a time, actual home ownership levels per capita will continue to fall. Economic freedom and owning land are important cornerstones of liberty and freedom. This is a fight against liberty and freedom. The branding may be pleasant but these changes should frighten anyone whom understands how this country came to be. Because it can be disassembled in a similar manner. It is the bureaucracy between locations and between systems which insulated citizens from deceptive practices elsewhere. Eliminate that and carpetbaggers worldwide will have direct access. Look around, you can already see it happening.

Thank you Mr Ford. Well, you know, go for what is within reach.

We’re so far down this path, any disclosure which would stop cheating and gaming of the system would be important, and a big step to take.

I would not wish an appraisal career on my worst enemy. This is hands down the most corrupt industry I have ever worked in, or even read about. It’s so bad we’ve got people whom think they’re the good guys, doing irreparable harm without even recognizing they’re committing fraud and engaging in deceptive practices. The harm comes from the top down. It’s too late for top level reform. Have to inch back now, or abandon this form of check and balance all together.

Or I suppose I could just get with the fraud, adopt new business practices, work with amc’s, and ‘turn it all around’? But at who’s expense…

Baggs, I get the reason for the desired disclosure, but Im already sick and tired of having to do extra work or take extra steps to certify I haven’t cheated or gamed the system. That is what USPAP was supposed to establish before they turned meaningful standards and principles into meaningless drivel to accommodate loan officer sand state regulators. (Like elimination of Departure and replacing it with the SOW rule).

In order to work in my own country, I must now PROVE my right to work. While illegals don’t have to, and nothing is done. WHY is it that people that follow the law are the ones that have o take the extra steps to show they obey it?

So now because a few dishonest appraisers outsource without disclosure (SOW?) I’m supposed to add new forms saying in essence that “I didn’t lie, cheat or steal in preparing this appraisal and report?”

A better idea would be to have real estate appraisers rewrite USPAP WITH ZERO HELP FROM TAF OR MISMO! They can tell us what causes them difficulty afterward. But STANDARDS and PRINCIPLES are not supposed to be debatable items. Eliminate state regulation of federal law. PERIOD!

ASC can replace ALL state appraisal bureaus and agencies.

At least then we could reasonably expect uniform enforcement and application of USPAP.

I was able to convince RESO to allow Appraisers to join a couple years ago.

Previously, Brokers could join, but not Appraisers.

I suggest that all Appraisers join RESO in order to have an idea what’s coming down the road in R.E. Standardization.

This is primarily for MLS but will probably morph to appraisals & UAD.

“Ditto what Craig said.”
